RADISHES —For well-shaped radishes 
the ground should be thoroughly pulver¬ 
ized and enriched with fertilizer. Fresh 
manure must not be used. First sowings 
are made very early, as the radish is 
hardy, and successive sowings up to hot 
weather. To avoid pithiness the crop 
should be grown quickly and pulled 
promptly when mature. Rows are 12" to 
15" apart and sown •/V deep, allowing 
one ounce to 100 ft. of row or 10 to 12 
lbs. to th e acre. 
The secret of getting crisp, delicious 
radishes is quick growth. So use plen¬ 
ty of plant food in the soil where 
they are planted. 
All through the planting season, a 
succession should be sown every 10 
days, so that you may have plenty of 
mild, tender radishes for relish and 
salads all through the season. 
SPINACH —Sow in rows 12" to 24" 
apart, depending on the method of culti¬ 
vation, thinning later to 6". Fall sown 
seed will give an early spring crop and 
all should be cut before hot weather. Sow 
again in August or September for a fall 
crop. Allow 2 ounces to 100 ft. of row; 
15 to 25 lbs. to an acre. 
TURNIPS —For summer greens or roots 
sow early in drills 12" to 15" apart for 
hand cultivation; 24" apart for horse cul¬ 
tivation, and press the soil down firmly. 
Thin out when the plants have grown to 
about I" high. Sow again in the summer 
for fall and winter use. Allow one ounce 
for 100 ft. of row, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
TOMATOES —Sow in hotbeds or indoor 
flats, using fresh soil. Keep the young 
plants free of insects and about 6 weeks 
later when danger of frost is past, trans¬ 
plant to reasonably rich soil, setting the 
plants 3 to 4 ft. apart. Various methods 
of staking and training the vines are in 
use and the grower should study these and 
adopt the one best suited to his acreage. 
One ounce will make 1,500 to 2,000 plants 
and 5,000 to 6,000 plants are needed to 
set an acre. 
WATERMELONS-Allow one ounce 
for 40 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. Do not 
plant seed of unknown origin; you can get 
better, surer results from seed that has 
been grown for seed purposes by expert 
growers.
