All Radishes— Packet, 5c; oz., 15c. 
This is the easiest of all vegetables to raise and 
no garden is complete without at least one or two 
varieties. 
The common Radish will germinate in four to 
days and if grown properly will have useful roots 
ready to harvest in twenty-eight to thirty days. If it 
takes longer than this the roots will be spongy, acid 
or woody, hence useless. The secret of getting crisp, 
delicious radishes is quick growth; for this they 
need a rich mellow soil. Sow the seed about one- 
third of an inch deep in drills not over 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
All through the spring a succession should be 
sown every ten days. Keep in mind that an old 
radish is a worthless one and being harvested as 
soon as possible, they must be quickly grown and 
of course kept thoroughly cultivated. It is advisable 
to use crude Naphthalene flakes in the soil at the 
time of sowing seed. This will protect the crop from 
soil insects such as maggots and worms. 
Early Scarlet Turnip. White Tipped. Turnip 
shaped roots tipped with white. Flesh white, crisp, 
tender and sweet. Tops small. Matures very early. 
French Breakfast or Half Long. Excellent for 
both home and market gardening. Tops small, roots 
oblong and blunt. Scarlet with white bottoms; flesh 
white, crisp and sweet. Splendid quality. 
Early Scarlet Globe. Matures very early. A 
bright carmine-red color. Perfect oval shape and 
ideal size makes this an excellent radish for market. 
They reach this size in about 25 or 30 days and are 
best when not quite full grown. Sweet, crisp and 
tender flesh of the highest quality. 
White Icicle. A popular white radish. Roots 
long, clear, white, especially mild. 
Other Varieties. Early Scarlet Turnip, Long 
Black Spanish, China Rose Winter, Crimson Giant. 
All Spinach—Packet, 5c; oz., 15c. 
Spinach is a cool season annual, grown for greens. 
No spinach will stand extreme summer heat without 
“shooting” seed stalks. For this reason the seed must 
be sown early in the spring or late in summer to 
avoid the danger of the crop maturing in July or 
August. For spring and summer use sow as early as 
the ground can be worked and make successive 
plantings every two weeks until May 15th. The 
leaves will be ready for use four or five weeks after 
sowing. For Autumn use, sow seed about August 1st. 
Spinach will grow very large and can be cut from 
the first of September until the ground freezes. 
Improved Thick Leaf. Believed by many as the 
finest spinach on the American market today. It is 
the largest-leaved spinach grown and is exceedingly 
crisp, tender and tasty. It grows rapidly and remains 
in good condition a long time, making it fine for 
market. The medium-green leaves are large, rounded, 
slightly crumpled, succulent, and tender. 
New Zealand. Thrives in hot weather in any 
soil. Leaves comparatively broad and pointed. Will 
grow through the summer. 
Prickly Winter. Hardiest variety. Must be sown 
in the fall. Seeds prickly. Leaves long, pointed, thick 
and succulent. 
Other Varieties. Nobel Giant Leaved, King of 
Denmark, Long Standing.
