RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different 
classes of Radishes—spring, summer, and winter varieties— 
it will easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable 
practically all year around. A moderately light soil pro¬ 
duces the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed as early 
in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. 
apart, covering yi in. deep. Thin plants to stand 1 to 1^ in. 
apart in the row. Make succession plantings every week 
until early summer, then resume one month before frost. 
This apolies to spring and summer radishes; seed of win¬ 
ter radishes is not sown until June. One pkt. will sow 
about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.; 10 to 12 lbs. for one acre.

25 days. Choice early variety that is an excellent strain 
of the old Scarlet Turnip White Tip. Small round 
roots, 1K in. in diameter, with bright scarlet top, a clear 
white base, and small, slender taproot. The juicy flesh 
is pure white and of an agreeable snappy flavor. Our 
stock of this popular variety is perfectly uniform and 
remarkably fine. While the white-tipped Scarlet Turnip 
Radish has long been a favorite, the Sparkler strain is 
unusually desirable. Our ever-increasing sales of Spark¬ 
ler are proof of its popularity.

ness and mild flavor as no other variety does. The roots, even though

and has a most delicious flavor. It grows to perfection in rich, loose,
