STUMPP &, WALTER CO., NEW YORK CITY 
RADISH 
One ounce will sow 
about 100 feet of drill 
As early in the spring as the soil can be worked, sow any of the early round or olive-shaped 
varieties in rows, ]A. inch deep, with a foot to 18 inches between the rows. Sow thinly. If seed¬ 
lings appear closer than one inch apart, they should be "thinned out.” Hoe frequently to 
encourage rapid growth which insures high quality. The early spring sorts serve the purpose 
until June 15, when Icicle and Cincinnati Market are at their best. The summer sorts are 
good until frost from repeated planting. The winter varieties should be pulled after light 
frosts and stored like beets. Both summer and winter Radishes should be “thinned” to stand 
from 4 to 6 inches apart in the row. After the middle of May, do not sow the flat, round, and 
olive-shaped spring sorts. Sow White Icicle and Cincinnati Market. These resist hot weather 
well. About July i, sow the winter varieties.
