RADISH 
HOW TO GROW RADISHES.—For good, tender, 
well-shaped Radishes, you must have good, rich, deep, 
well-prepared soil. They cannot do well in hard 
“clayey” soil. Sow the seed early and make other 
sowings every two weeks. This gives you fresh tender 
Radishes all season. If too large a sowing is made at 
one time, they may get tough or pithy before all can be 
used. Sow the seed in rows rather than broadcasting 
it, for when sown in rows they may be kept clean of 
weeds. Rows may be made 4 or 6 or 12 inches apart, 
depending on the quantity you are growing. Sow seed 
thin enough so they do not need to be thinned out. 
Sow seed of winter Radishes in July and August; then 
take them up before freezing and store in pits or cover 
with sand in the cellar, and they will keep fine all 
winter. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 
10 pounds to the acre. 
Schell’s Quality Seeds will please you this 
year and every year
