RADISH 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row. 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. 
CULTURE—Radishes must grow quickly to be good, especially the small sorts. The soil should 
be thoroughly prepared and be rich and light. Beginning as soon as frost is gone make plantings 
at 10 day intervals to insure a succession in rows 12 to 18 inches apart covering the seed about 
Vi inch. Winter radishes should not be planted until August. 
Our Radish Seed is grown from carefully selected transplanted roots.
