RUTZER’S CHOICE RADISHES 
Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, and make succession plantings every 10 days. 
Where the summers are hot, sow until the middle of May, then stop, but make three more sowings during Aug¬ 
ust. Sow the seed thinly in shallow drills and cover with about one-quarter inch of fine soil. The quality of 
Radishes depends considerably upon thorough soil preparation, good fertility, and ample moisture. One ounce 
is sufficient for 100 feet of drill; 8 to 10 pounds of seed are needed to sow one acre planted in drills.
