Olds’ Icy Crisp Radish. 
MAGGOT CONTROL. 
Corrosive Sublimate will control maggots 
which attack cabbage, onion and radish crops. 
Mix one ounce with 10 gallons of water. Pour 
this solution around the base of the plants 
when they are two to three inches tall. Use 
one gallon to every 35 feet of row. For cab¬ 
bage plants use one-half teacup to a plant. 
Corrosive Sublimate may be obtained from 
your local druggist or a nearby -creamery. 
Olds’ Radish Seed is grown 
from hand transplanted roots. 
In this way the types are kept 
pure and true and no seed is 
produced that is not from per¬ 
fectly sound radishes. Growers 
who raise radishes for the mar¬ 
ket should use only seed of 
this type. The crop can be 
placed on the market earlier 
than from ordinary seed and 
also quality radishes can be 
had long after radishes grown 
from ordinary seed have be¬ 
come pithy and hollow. All 
growers should sow the best 
seed obtainable if they want 
to receive the maximum profit 
from their crop. For larger 
amounts see our Market Gar¬ 
deners’ Price List, page 35. 
OLDS'RADISHES 
White Icicle. 
CULTURE: Please Note. 
Planting radish seed at im¬ 
proper depths is often the 
cause of the bulbs being vari¬ 
ous shapes. Plant about V& 
inch deep. Sow as early as the 
ground can be worked. 
Radishes do best on a light 
rich mellow soil. Sow in drills 
10 inches apart and thin to 2 
inches in the row. Sow the 
early round red sorts first, the 
long growing varieties a week 
later, and the winter varieties 
in July and August. One pkt. 
will sow 25 feet; 12 pounds 
an acre.
