RADISH CULTURE Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 
pounds per acre. Radishes are easily grown. For 
the best quality, growth should be quick and 
continuous, which means that the soil should not be allowed to become 
dry. The early bunching varieties do best during cool weather. See 
Page 2 for preparation of the soil. Sow early in the spring’, as soon 
as the ground is ready, even before danger of a frost is over. If 
bothered by root maggots, small beds can be protected by making 
a frame from 6-inch boards and covering the top of this with cheese¬ 
cloth. Plant about % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and 
when up, thin to one or two inches apart. A succession of plantings 
should be made in order that you will always have young, crisp and 
tender radishes. Use before the roots become pithy. 
OUR RADISH SEED We have an especially fine lot this year of Early 
Scarlet Globe, Michigan grown. This strain is 
early, with small tops and small tap roots. The 
favorite sort with larger planters. Saxa makes very quickly and is used 
a great deal for forcing. Many prefer Crimson Giant for the home 
garden because it may be pulled as soon as the early sorts and will 
continue to grow until reaching a maximum diameter of about two 
inches without becoming pithy. White Icicle is the favorite long white 
radish and Cincinnati Market one of the best long red.
