-BURPEE’S RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of radishes—spring, summer, and 
winter varieties—it will easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable practically all year 
around. A moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed of spring 
- and summer radishés as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. 
>, apart, covering 14 in. deep. Thin small varieties to stand 1 to 1% in. apart in the row; larger 
: varieties, 3 to 4 in. apart. Make succession plantings every week until early summer, then 
resume one month before frost. Seed of winter radishes is sown from the middle of June to 
the middle of August. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 it.

886 Crimson Giant Globe 
29 days. Sweet, crisp, juicy, brittle, and a wonderful yielder. A fine giant 
bright red radish. This radish differs from most others as the roots attain 
: I a large size without becoming hollow or pithy. The shape is a perfect 
Scarlet globe, 2 in. in depth, 1% in. in diameter, with thin, tender skin of deep 
Button crimson and solid white flesh. It is a very popular variety, of large size 
and the finest quality. Early, notwithstanding its size. Sow seed thinly 
to permit full development of the roots, and for the biggest radishes see 
that the soil is moderately moist, fertile and deeply prepared, Crimson 
Giant should be thinned to a wider spacing than smaller varieties; we sug- 
gest leaving at least 2 in. between plants for full development.

Radishes do best in loose, deeply prepared soil and when growth 
is quick and steady. Where summers are hot, succession sowings 
of the so-called spring varieties should not be made from the , 
middle of May until early August. Summer Radishes require ¥ 
longer to mature than spring varieties so are better adapted to 
summer culture. Winter Radish seeds are sown in the summer for 
fall and winter use. Grow your favorites from all three groups.
