RADISHES 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get radishes in the open ground that are not “hot” the soil should 
be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as soon as the 
radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart 
and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. Dusting the ground with lime or 
gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep the flies out and prevent 
injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or first of September 
much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they 
are not usually injured by maggots in the fall.
