Olds Radish Seed is grown from hand-trans¬ 
planted roots. In this way the types are kept 
pure and true and no seed is produced that is 
not from perfectly sound radishes. Growers 
who raise radishes for the market 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 
amounts see our Market Gardeners’ 
Price List. 
CULTURE: Please Note. Planting 
radish seed at improper depths is 
often the cause of the bulbs being 
various shapes. Plant about )4 inch 
deep. Sow as early as the ground can 
be worked. Radishes do best on a 
light, rich, mellow soil. Sow in drills 
10 inches apart and thin to 2 inches 
in the row. Sow the early round red 
sorts first, the long-growing varieties 
a week later, and the winter varieties 
in July and August. One pkt. will 
sow 25 feet; 12 pounds an acre. 
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, llse 
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.
