The Finest Radishes 
CULTURE —Radishes are easily grown in nearly any soil but to be at their best they should grow 
quickly. For this purpose a light sandy loam is perhaps the best, rich but not recently fertilized with 
stable manure. A freshly manured soil produces ill shaped and often wormy roots. Sow as early as soil 
can be worked inch deep, the rows 12 to 16 inches apart. 
QUANTITY OF SEED —One ounce should sow a 100 ft. row, 8 to 10 lbs. an acre.
