Radish 
(Ravanello, Rabanitoor Rabano, Radies) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 
pounds will plant an acre. 
All varieties thrive best in light, sandy loam. For early use, sow 
in the hotbed in February, giving plenty of ventilation, or outside 
in the garden, in drills, as soon as the soil is warm and dry, cover¬ 
ing the seed about % inch deep. Sow every two weeks from March 
until September for a succession of crisp radishes for table use. 
Radishes must grow rapidly to be crisp, mild-flavored and tender.

flesh white, almost transparent; brittle and crisp. 
CRIMSON GIANT — 28 days. It grows much larger than other 
early varieties, but does not become pithy, even when fully 
twice as large in diameter and a week older. It has largely 
replaced Early Scarlet Turnip. Beautiful crimson-carmine; 
turnip-shaped; flesh firm, crisp and tender.

small top; always crisp and tender; color a bright scarlet.

mild and tender, of oval form, scarlet tipped with white.

Very crisp and of good quality.

out of doors planting. Tops very small. Roots small,
