RADISHES 
Ravanelli (It.) 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get radishes in the open ground that are not “hot” the soil should 
be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as soon as the 
radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart 
and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. Dusting the ground with lime or 
Red or Scarlet Radishes 
gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep the flies out and prevent 
injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or first of September 
much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they 
are not usually injured by maggots in the fall. 
FIRECRACKER. (New). Long Scarlet. This new kind is about the same 
shape and size as the best Icicle, but is a brilliant scarlet in color. The roots 
are 3 to 4 in. long. The flesh is of excellent quality being mild and crisp. The 
tops are small and this is altogether a very fine variety both for forcing or 
outdoor growing. See photo below.

The roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to 
transplant to the permanent bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be

seed is raised, so the roots that produce the largest and best stalks should 
be used, the rest being discarded.
