OLDSRADISHES 
Olds’ Radish Seed is grown 
from hand transplanted roots. 
In this way the types are kept 
pure and true and no seed is 
produced that is not from per¬ 
fectly sound radishes. Growers 
who raise radishes for the mar¬ 
ket should use only seed of 
this type. The crop can be 
placed on the market earlier 
than from ordinary seed and 
also quality radishes can be 
had long after radishes grown 
from ordinary seed have be¬ 
come pithy and hollow. All 
growers should sow the best 
seed obtainable if they want 
to receive the maximum profit 
from their crop. For larger 
amounts see our Market Gar¬ 
deners’ Price List, page 55. 
CULTURE: Please Note. 
Planting radish seed at im¬ 
proper depths is often the 
cause of the bulbs being vari¬ 
ous shapes. Plant about %

MAGGOT CONTROL. 
Corrosive Sublimate will control maggots 
which attack cabbage, onion and radish crops. 
Mix one ounce with 10 gallons of water. Pour 
this solution around the base of the plants 
when they are two to three inches tall. Use 
one gallon to every 35 feet of row. For cab¬ 
bage plants use one-half teacup to a plant. 
Corrosive Sublimate may be obtained from 
your local druggist or a nearby creamery.
