Superior Quality Seed 
RADISHES 
CULTURE.—The secret in growing good Radishes consists chiefly in the observance 
on the part of the grower of three points. First, they should be grown on light, quick 
soil. Second, they should he given plenty of water, and last, but by no means least, 
the right kind of seed should be sown. For the first crop sow as early in Spring as 
ground can be worked, and every two weeks throughout the season for succession. 
A warm, sandy loam, made rich and light by strong manure, is best. Sow in drills 
10 to 12 inches apart. The Winter varieties should be sown in July and August. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 8 to 10 pounds per acre.

Winter Radishes 
Sow the seed the latter part of June, up to August 1st. Culture same 
as for other Radishes. Thin out to stand 4 to 6 inches apart in the rows. 
Can be kept over Winter by placing in box of sand, stored in a cool cellar. 
The Merits of Winter Radishes are little appreciated, probably because 
they are seldom grown and few people have knowledge of their worth. 
These grow to large size and keep crisp and solid for Winter and Spring 
use. They make nice salads during the Winter months; also used for a 
boiled dish. 
CHINA ROSE.—More used than any other Winter Radish. Grows 
larger than the Spanish varieties. Very handsome, of medium size, rose 
color. Flesh white and mild for a Winter Radish. By packing these in

duction from Japan. The root grows to enormous dimensions, sometimes 
over three feet around and two feet long, yet the white flesh is always

potatoes. Seed should be sown in May. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 44 Ib., 60c;

Radish is the most universally grown crop in the home garden. Real¬ 
izing its great importance we have spent a vast amount of time and 
money to better existing strains of seed. Now the leading seedsmen come 
to us for Radish seed of the strains grown on our Michigan farms. There 
are Radishes for every purpose and every locality.
