Hart & Vick’s Radishes 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce, 60 feet 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very short time after it is taken from the ground. Radishes 
wilt like flowers and other vegetables, and lose their fresh crispness and juicy, delicate flavor. You cannot know how really good Radishes 
are if you haven’t gone out in the garden in the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing, sow in hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 
seeds to the foot and cover with 34 inch of soil sifted on. Sow in garden, as early as 
possible, in rows about 1 foot apart and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing 
of nitrate of soda will greatly help their growth and make them tender and crisp. 
Successive sowings every week or 10 days will keep your table well supplied the 
entire season.
