RADISHES 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill 
The ground for growing radishes should be finely prepared 
and as free as possible of small stones and lumps. Plant seed 
about Vz inch deep in rows 1 2 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 tem¬ 
perature and constant moisture are favorable for best results. 
Most varieties become pithy soon after reaching full size. 
In order to keep a continuous supply, successive plantings 
should be made.

TOBACCO DUST 
Save your Radishes and Turnips from worms 
Strew it generously in the row before sowing. It acts 
as a repellent for many insects infesting the soil. De¬ 
serves much more general use. Dusted over Cucumbers, 
Melons and Squashes it helps greatly to rid these vines 
of the destructive bugs. Apply in the morning when 
the plants are covered with dew. 1 lb. 10 cts., (pre¬ 
paid 20 cts.), 5 lbs. 35 cts., (prepaid 50 cts.), 1 0 lbs. 
60 cts., 25 lbs. $1.00, 100 lbs. $3.25. Postage extra. 
Salsify 
(VEGETABLE OYSTER) 
The roots of this vegetable are appetizing and nutritious, 
and the flavor is like that of oysters. Salsify succeeds best in 
a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good 
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will 
cause the roots to become irregular and branched. Sow early 
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
parsnip. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 
Large and strong growing with long, smooth, white, taper¬ 
ing roots less likely to branch than those of other sorts. Pkts.
