Culture Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
Radishes are easily grown. For the best quality, growth 
should be quick and continuous which means that the soil 
should not be allowed to become dry. The early bunching varieties do best 
during cool weather. See page 2 for preparation of the soil. Sow early in the 
spring as soon as the ground is ready, even before danger of frost is over. If 
bothered by root maggots, small beds can be protected by making a frame 
from 6 inch boards and covering the top of this with cheesecloth. Plant about 
1/2 inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up, thin to one or two 
inches apart. A succession of plantings should be made in order that you will 
always have young, crisp and tender radishes. Use before the roots become 
pithy.
