RADISH 
Radish originally came from the East Indies and has been cultivated in Europe since the 16th 
Century. Four Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Six Pounds Will Sow An Acre. Seed 
breaks ground in 6 aays. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances in

Sow Radish Seed as soon as the ground is in condition to work, or just before the Cherry is in bloom- 
This is one of the earliest Vegetables that one can grow' in the garden in the Spring. Radishes grow'n on 
thin soil can never be good. They wall be misshapen and tough. The shape largely being influenced by the 
depth the seed is planted. When planted too deep they usually get too long. To be good, they must alw'ays 
be grown quickly. Radishes which grow' slowdy are usually tough and hot. In selecting the seed of Radishes 
for hot beds, alw'ays be sure to select those varieties w'ith short tops.
