RADISH 
Radish originally came from the East Indies and has been cultivated in Europe since the 16th 
Century. Four Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Six Pounds Will Sow An Acre. Seed 
breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances in 
greenhouse 
Sow Radish Seed as soon as the ground is in condition to work, or just before the Cherry is in bloom. This 
is one of the earliest Vegetables that one can grow in the garden in the Spring. Radishes grown on thin 
soil can never be good. They will be misshapen and tough. The shape largely being influenced by the depth 
the seed is planted. When planted too deep they usually get too long. To be good, they must always be 
grown quickly. Radishes which grow slowly are usually tough and hot. In selecting the seed of Radishes 
for hot beds, always be sure to select those varieties with short tops.
