WISEMAN-DOWNS CO., INC. - 34 E. PRATT ST. - BALTIMORE, MD. 
RADISH 
CULTURE.—For open-ground culture sow on rich sandy 
soil as soon in the Spring as it is fit to work, in drills 12 
to 18 inches apart, and thin out the plants to prevent 
crowding. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly 
stimulate growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Suc- 
cessional sowing from 1 week to 10 days apart will keep 
up a supply. After the hot weather of Summer begins, it 
is better to sow the Summer and Winter varieties, as they 
do not become tough and stringy not pithy so quickly as 
the earlier sorts. One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill.
