RADISHES — ''loof Of 
Plant Several Kinds 
All Prices Postpaid Unless Otherwise Noted. 
CULTURE: The culture of radishes is so easy and the results so sure tnat riiey ur» 
probably found in more home gardens than any other vegetable. The varieties of 
radish differ so distinctly that the home gardener is able to obtain almost anything 
he prefers in the way of shape, color, size and season. The ground should be finely 
prepared, as free as possible from small stones and lumps. Plant seed about 1/2 inch 
deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and when up about an inch thin to 1 to 2 inches 
apart. Radishes are at their best when growth is quick and steady. A moderate tempera¬ 
ture and constant moisture are favorable for best results. In order to keep a continuous 
supply of young, mild radishes successive plantings should be made.
