RADISH 
Our radish stocks are unequalled by any others to be had from American or Euro- 
pean sources. Tons of stock seed are grown each year at our seed breeding stations 
from roots which are pulled, hand selected by skilled workers and replanted for seed 
production in carefully isolated fields. This is why our stocks are superior in earliness, 
uniformity and quality. We have indicated below the number of days required under 
favorable conditions to produce roots of satisfactory bunching size.
