RADISHES 
Pumpkins 
Culture: Sometimes grown in cornfields, but if grown as a 
separate crop, seed should be planted in hills 8 to 10 feet 
apart each way after weather and soil get warm. Hoe often 
till vines begin to run. Cut pumpkins from vine after the 
leaves die, leaving 3 or 4 inches of stem attached and store

per acre.

Radishes 
German—Rettig, Radies Italian—Ravenelli 
Spanish—Rabanos 
The culture of radishes is so easy and the results so sure 
that they are probably found in more home gardens than any 
other vegetable. The varieties of radish differ so distinctly 
that the home gardener is able to obtain almost anything he 
prefers in the way of shape, color, size and season. 
The ground should be finely prepared, as free as possible 
from small stones and lumps. Plant seed about /i inch deep 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and when up about an inch thin 
to 1 or 2 inches apart. Radishes are at their best when growth 
is quick and steady. A moderate temperature and constant 
moisture are favorable for best results. Most varieties become 
pithy soon after reaching full size. In order to keep a con¬ 
tinuous supply, successive plantings should be made.
