CRISP RADISHES Winter Radish 
The universal garden favorite, are easy 
to raise from early spring to late fall.

radishes are the largest of all and can be stored for some 
time for winter use. When pulled they should be covered 
with sand and kept in a cool place.

is out of the ground. Cover seed about 1/4 inch. After May 
1st, continue by sowing White Icicle. After June 1st, select 
any of the summer varieties, and around IuW 1st. sow the

winter keeping gualities, for which they are better than

SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT 
CULTURE— One of the most desirable winter vegetables, 
and one which deserves to be more used. Before sowing, 
the soil must be stirred to considerable depth. Sow early 
and quite deep. Frost does not hurt the roots, but a quantity 
should be stored for winter in a pit or cool cellar before the 
ground freezes. An ounce will sow 75 feet. 
144—MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 
This variety is less liable to branch than most varieties, 
but coarse or fresh manure should not be used if smooth 
roots are wanted. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c.

gardeners, and two of his rhubarb 
stalks.
