Red Giant 
RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of radishes—spring, sumi er, and 
winter varieties—it will easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable practically all year 
around. A moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed is early 
the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. apart, covering Yi -n. deep, 
^hin plants to stand 1 to 1/^ in. apart in the row. Alake succession plantings every week 
until early summer, then resume one month before frost. This applies to spring and 
summer radishes; seed of winter radishes is not sown until June. One pkt. 
sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.; 10 to 12 lbs. for one acre.
