BUCHANAN’S RADISH SEEDS 
CULTURE—Sow in open ground in spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow in 
rich sandy loam, in drills 18 inches apart; thin plants to prevent crowding. Keep the 
soil loose and apply a little nitrate of soda. Successive plantings should be made 
every 10 days or 2 weeks to keep up a continuous supply of crisp and tender radishes. 
For early use plant the round or button radishes and olive shaped. For later use plant 
the long and half-long varieties. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Plant in rows 15 inches apart, plants 3 inches apart. 8 to 
10 pounds to acre; matures in 24 to 40 days.

ROUND AND TURNIP SHAPED VARIETIES 
344—BUCHANAN’S NEW PERFECTION (Half White) (25 days)—The per- 
fected white tip. The white portion extends farther up than on ordinary 
white tip. The brilliant scarlet red affords a distinct contrast to the large 
white portion. It is turnip shape, very uniform, with crisp, tender, sparkling 
flesh. Ideal for home garden and marketing, as it does not become pithy 
until after matured. 
339—EARLY SCARLET TURNIP (White Tipped) (25 days)—The long used 
standard white tip. Roots nearly round with small tap root; bright red with 
small white tip. Flesh white crisp and mild. 
351—EARLY SCARLET GLOBE (23 days)—Slightly olive-shaped, with white, 
tender, shee fiesh and rich, bright scarlet-red skin. Excellent for home use 
and especially recommended for gardeners because of its earliness, uniformity 
of size and short top which is strong enough to bunch well. 
350—FRENCH BREAKFAST (25 days)—Early, half long, deep scarlet radish 
with white bottoms. Flesh white, crisp. Best of the half long type. 
Buchanan’s Perfection ; LONG VARIETIES 
346—WHITE ICICLE (27 days)—Best early long white variety. Adapted 
to early spring plantings since it remains crisp and tender longer than 
any other radish. Its hardiness makes it popular for fall planting also. 
Roots 5 to 5% inches long, snowy white outside with brittle, tender, 
glistening white flesh of mild, inviting flavor. 
3483—LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP (27 days)—Roots smooth, uniform, 
5 to 6 inches, tapering, dark scarlet with small tops and white, crisp flesh.

EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
Soy beans, as human food, are one of the cheapest and best sources of com- 
plete protein, fat, minerals and Vitamin B,. The high protein content of soy 
beans is more nearly like that found in meat and more easily digested. For 
twenty-five years the famous Battle Creek Sanatorium has been serving tasty, 
healthful soy bean foods in many ways. They are more drouth resistant and 
less susceptible to insect injury than other garden beans. Be sure to plant some 
of this easily grown, sure cropping new vegetable. The green beans are deli- 
cious and ideal for winter use dry and are never attacked by weevil. To shell 
green beans, pour boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool 
enough to handle. To cook when dry, soak overnight. 
CULTURE—After danger of frost, plant in rows approximately 3 feet apart. When 6 
to 8 inches high thin to 1 plant, every 3 to 5 inches. Give clean, shallow cultivation 
as you would snap beans. One pound plants about 200 feet. 
54—EARLY EDIBLE (90 days to green beans)—In tests of 125 varieties at 
Mississippi State College this bean was outstanding in earliness, yield, quick 
cooking and fine flavor. Plant upright, about 3 feet high, beans creamy yel- 
ales Don’t fail to try this most delicious early maturing heavy yielding 
soy bean. 
55—EARLY NANDA (95 days to green beans)—This variety rated excellent 
as to flavor and tenderness in extensive cooking tests. It has consistently 
yielded well and we unhesitatingly recommend it as a superior edible soy. 
Soy beans are not acid forming in the process of digestion and probably 
supply more minerals than any other vegetable. Unusually fine for growing 
children.
