popular varieties. Price: Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb.

LONG VARIETIES 
A garden wouldn't be a garden unless It had rad¬ 
ishes in it. Everyone who has a patch of ground as 
big as a table top should raise at least a part of his 
own radishes. These varieties are all good ones. 
Plant 4 or 5 different kinds. One ounce of seed will 
make a row 100 feet long and when you figure how 
many bunches you can get from a 100 foot row, you 
can easily see what a money maker it is. Make 
several plantings.

get pithy. The flesh is a snowy white, and the 
color is an attractive deep crimson. A vigorous,

WINTER RADISHES 
PARSNIPS 
ABOUT PARSNIPS 
Parsnip seed starts slowly. I always sow radish seed 
with it as the radishes come up early and mark the 
rows so that cultivation can be started. Parsnips will 
come along just fine a little later on. 
Sow the seed real early. Leave them in the ground 
over the next winter. One ounce of seed will sow 200 
feet of row. 
HOLLOW CROWN or LONG SMOOTH
