RADISH CULTURE 
% Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
Radishes are easily grown. For the best quality, growth should be 
quick and continuous, which means that the soil should not be allowed 
to become dry. The early bunching varieties do best during cool 
weather. See Page 3 for preparation of the soil. Sow early in the spring, 
as soon as the ground is ready, even before danger of a frost is over. 
If bothered by root maggots, small beds can be protected by making a 
frame from 6-inch boards and covering the top of this with cheesecloth. 
Plant about % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up, 
thin to one or two inches apart. A succession of plantings should be 
made in order that you will always have young, crisp and tender rad- 
ishes. Use before the roots become pithy. 
OUR RADISH SEED 
We have an especially fine Early Scarlet Globe. This strain is early, 
with small tops and small tap roots. The favorite sort with larger 
planters. The new Comet is the brightest colored of red radishes. 
Many prefer Crimson Giant for the home garden because it may be 
pulled as soon as the early sorts and will continue to grow until reach- 
ing a maximum diameter of about two inches without becoming pithy.

one of the best long red.
