Varieties

China Rose Winter. Bright rose color, flesh firm and piquant. 
Cylindrical, or largest at the bottom, tapering abruptly to 
small top. One of the best for winter use. 
Long Black Spanish Winter. One of the largest, latest, as 
well as the hardiest of radishes. Roots of medium size, oblong, 
black, and flesh is of firm texture. 
Radish Culture 
Sow 1 ounce of Radish Seed per 100 feet of row, 8 to 10 
pounds per acre. 
Radishes should be grown on light, quick soil, given plenty 
of water, and last but not least, the right kind of seed should 
be sown. Radishes grow very quickly and if not supplied with 
sufficient moisture are likely to be pithy. Sow seed % inch 
deep in the early 
Spring in rows 1 
foot apart and the 
more fertile the soil 
the faster they will 
grow. For a succes¬ 
sion, sow every 10 
days throughout 
the season and stir 
the soil sufficiently 
to keep out weeds. 
RHUBARB 
Sow seed in cold 
frame and in six to 
eight weeks trans¬ 
plant to rich, deep 
soil. Transplant 
again following 
season to perma¬ 
nent location, set¬ 
ting 4 to 5 feet apart 
each way.
