RADISH 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of row. 8 to 10 pounds to the acre. 
CULTURE—Radishes must grow quickly to be good, especially the small sorts. The soil should be 
thoroughly prepared and be rich and light. Beginning as soon as frost is gone make plantings at 10 day 
intervals to insure a succession in rows 12 to 18 inches apart covering the seed about '/2 inch. Winter radishes 
should not be planted until August. 
Our Radish Seed is grown from carefully selected transplanted roots.
