MICHELL’S SELECT RADISH SEED 
Radis (Fr.); Radies (Ger.); Ravanelli (Ital.) 
One ounce of seed will sow a row about 75 feet long; 8 to 10 lbs. are required for an acre. 
Radishes should be sown in good rich ground, where they can make rapid growth, for then only do they produce the best results. 
Early sowings can be made as soon as frost is out of the ground. The Winter radishes are sown in July and are developed by Autumn, 
at which time they may be taken up and stored in a cool cellar and covered with sand.
