One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 9 to 10 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—Quick growth is the secret of success. A light, rich soil is required. Sow the seed as 
early in the spring as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks thereafter throughout the 
season for succession. Sow round and globe varieties for first crop as they grow faster than the long 
types and soon turn pithy, so must be harvested promptly. Long types grow more slowly and endure 
the heat better. 
Wormy radishes cannot be controlled by spraying of any sort. By practicing crop rotation, and 
changing the planting site each year, serious soil infestation is overcome.
