hill and thimning to the best three when the plants 
are well up. May also be grown among hills of corn; 
should be planted 9 or more feet apart each way. 
CONNECTICUT FIELD. One of the best for field 
planting, being largely grown for stock feeding. Seed 
about same as that of Small Sugar but cleaner.

close - grained, sweet, tender flesh has made this a 
favorite. The skin is striped with mottled green bands | 
of creamy white. Seed white, velvety, wrinkled.

prized for the home-garden because of its thick, fine- 
flavored flesh and good keeping qualities. It is a 
large, round, flattened sort with creamy buff skin 
and averages about 2 feet in diameter.

very thick, bright yellow flesh which is fine grained, 
tender, and of fine quality. Seed large, white.

best pie Pumpkins. The fruits are but 10 inches in

with sweet, deep orange-yellow flesh. An excellent 
keeper. Seed white, velvety, mealy, medium size. 


Vick’s Scarlet Globe Radishes 
RADISHE 
Radishes like a soil that is open, warm, and quick. 
All Radish seed is dark yellowish brown with a 
purple cast, semi-round, resembling small pebbles, 
and averaging 33 to 4% inch in diameter. Sow seed 
of the early round or olive-shaped varieties as early 
In spring as the ground can be worked, 4% inch deep, 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Seed should be sown 
thinly, and if plants come up closer than 1 inch, they 
must be thinned out. Sow at intervals for succession 
until about the middle of May when the long sorts 
should be sown; about July 1, the winter varieties. 
One ounce will sow about 
100 feet of row
