One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 9 to 10 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE OF RADISHES—For first crop 
sow as early in the spring as the ground can 
he worked, and every two weeks throughout the 
season, for succession. A warm, sandy loam is 
the best. Sow in drills 10 to 12 inches apart. 
Radishes contain valuable vitamins. Sow round 
or globe varieties for the first crop. Long types 
do not grow so fast, and endure more heat. 
Wormy radishes cannot be controlled by 
spraying. Do not sow radishes in the same spot 
year after year.
