WISEMAN-DOWNS CO., INC. - 34 E. PRATT ST. - BALTIMORE, MD. 
RADISH 
CULTURE.—For open-ground culture sow on rich sandy 
soil as soon in the Spring as it is fit to work, in drills 12 to 18 
inches apart, and thin out the plants to prevent crowding. 
A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly stimulate 
growth and insure tender, brittle roots. Successional sowing 
from 1 week to 10 days apart will keep up a supply. After 
the hot weather of Summer begins, it is better to sow the 
Summer and Winter varieties, as they do not become tough 
and stringy nor pithy so quickly as the earlier sorts. One 
ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill.
