Radish, Scarlet Turnip White Tip 
RADISH 
Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to 
bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick 
and tender growth. Sow early in spring and well into 
summer for succession, in well-manured, deeply dug and 
finely raked soil; if not well stimulated into a rapid 
growth, they become fibrous and tough; sow in drills 10 
inches apart and % inch deep, and thin to 2 inches in 
the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until 
September for a succession. They mature in 25 to 40 
days. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row.

SQUASH 
Squash should be planted in a warm, rich soil, after 
the weather has become settled and warm, about the 
beginning of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, 
in the same manner as Cucumbers or Melons—the bush 
varieties 3 or 4 feet apart each way, and the running 
kinds from 6 to 8 feet. 8 to 10 seeds should be sown, 1 to 
2 inches deep, in each hill, thinning out after they have 
attained their rough leaves and danger from bugs is over, 
leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants to a hill. The soil 
should be moist before planting so that no watering is 
required until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they 
may fail to germinate. An occasional feeding of liquid 
manure will repay in size of fruits. One ounce of the 
summer varieties will plant about 25 hills and one 
ounce of the winter varieties about 15 hills. Summer sorts 
mature in 65 days and the winter sorts in 150 days.
