The Finest Radishes 
CULTURE Radishes are easily grown in nearly any soil but to be at their best they should grow 
quickly. For this purpose a light sandy loam is perhaps the best, rich but not recently fertilized with 
stable manure. A freshly manured soil produces ill shaped and often stormy roots. Sow as early as soil 
can be worked M inch deep, the rows 12 to 16 inches apart. 
QUANTITY OF SEED One ounce should sow a 100 ft. row, S to 10 lbs. an acre.
