Home Grown Vegetables Are Best—Success Is Surer With Hardie’s Seeds 
Hardie’s Crisp Radishes 
SELECTED VARIETIES FOR HOME AND MARKET 
CULTURE—The soil for radishes should be light, rich and well pulverized, 
as their mild and crisp qualities depend much on their rapid growth. For very 
early use, sow in mild hotbeds in January, and in open ground as soon as the 
ground can be worked ; for succession sow at intervals of ten or twelve days ; 
they also do well sown in the fall.
