Finest Seed Stocks 
One ounce sows 100 ft. of drill. If broadcast requires 10 to 12 
lbs. per acre. For forcing in frames sow in January or February. 
Out-of-doors, sow from March to June for early summer crop. For 
late, sow from July to September. Early sorts mature and are 
ready for the table in 21 to 30 days from sowing. 
Culture —Quick growth is essential for tender crisp radishes. 
Hence, rich soil and plenty of moisture are essential. They can be 
sown at intervals of ten days to two weeks for early use or grown 
as a catch crop between rows of beets, lettuce, onions, etc. When 
forced they require plenty of ventilation and moisture.
