radishes for greenhouse forcing. This excellent, bright, rich

this radish and can highly recommend it. Ready for pulling

Culture. Plant radishes on a light soil if a choice is possible and 
every second week for a succession from the time the soil can be 
worked in spring till the first light frost. Plant in 12 to 18 inch 
rows, cover the seed one'half inch deep and permit ten radishes to 
grow to the foot; use 8 to 12 pounds of seed to the acre. Radish 
seed, which germinates quickly, may be sown with some slow 
germinating seed that the cultivation of that crop mav begin the 
earlier or the quicker growing radish may be grown between the 
rows of some slow growing crop that later requires considerable 
White-Tipped Scarlet Turnip. space.
