One package of seed will sow 1 5 feef of row; 1 ounce, 60 feef 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very short time 
after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and other vegetables, and lose 
their fresh crispness and juicy, delicate flavor. You cannot know how really good Radishes are 
if you haven't gone out in the garden in the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing, sow in hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 seeds to the 
foot and cover with 'A inch of soil sifted on. Sow in garden, as early as possible, in rows about 
1 foot apart and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly help 
their growth and make them tender and crisp. Successive sowings every week or 10 days will 
keep your table well supplied the entire season.
