RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of radishes — 
spring, summer, and winter varieties—it will easily keep you supplied with this 
refreshing vegetable practically all year around. A moderately light soil produces 
the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. apart, covering y 2 in. deep. Thin plants to stand 
1 to 1M in. apart in the row. Make succession plantings every week until early 
summer, then resume one month before frost. This applies to spring and summer 
radishes; seed of winter radishes is not sown until June. One pkt. will sow about 
20 It. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.; 10 to 12 lbs. for one acre.
