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 con¬ 
tinuous, which means that the soil should not be allowed to become dry. 
The early bunching varieties do best during cool weather. See Page 3 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 Obn be protected by making a frame from 6-inch boards and 
covering the top of this with cheese-cloth. Plant about 1/2 i^ch 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, Mich¬ 
igan 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 be¬ 
coming pithy. White Icicle is the favorite long white radish and Cincinnati 
Market one of the best long red.
