RADISH 
HIGH CLASS RADISH STOCKS OUR LEADING SPECIALTY 
Culture The soil for radishes should be very rich, light and mellow, well broken by digging, 
as their tender and mild qualities depend much upon their rapid growth. For very early use, 
sow in mild hotbeds in February, and in the open air as soon as the ground can be worked at 
intervals of ten or twelve days for a succession as long as they may be wanted. The winter 
varieties should he sown in August, lifted before severe frost, and stored in the cellar. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of 
drill; 8 to 10 pounds per acre

forcing varieties which does equally well out of 
doors.
