RADISHES s 
The most popular of all radishes ¥ 
Continues to be delicious over a long period during the growing season (30 days) 
The attractive, straight roots grow about 5 in. long, are very smooth and free from 
side roots, and are shaped like real icicles. Skin is pure white, thin and tender; flesh 
is icy white, crisp, brittle and juicy. It is perfectly mild and of a delightfully sweet 
flavor with just enough pungency to appeal to the appetite. It remains solid during 
the entire growing season, and is fully as good when 1 in. in diameter as when only 
¥% inch, 
White Icicle, like other radishes, will stand some frost, so extremely early planting 
as well as late fall crops are possible. These crops at the extremes of the growing 
season are likely to be the finest of all because radishes thrive best during cool 
weather, and are of the highest quality when the plants have not been subjected to 
much heat. 
Remember that your White Icicles are going to grow deep into the ground and 
prepare the earth to a considerable depth to make growth rapid and even. 
This is one of the finest radishes grown, and should be in every garden, whether for 
home or market, spring or fall use. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 75¢; 1 Ib. $1.25.

Cultural Suggestions 
The seed of Spring and Summer Radishes may be sown as early in the spring 
as the soil can be worked. Successional sowings may be made every 10 days 
until September, except where summers are hot, in which sections sowings 
should be stopped from the middle of May until the first of August. Sow seed 
thinly in shallow drills 12 to 18 in. apart, cover with % in. of soil; thin to 1 in. 
apart for small varieties; large varieties, 3 to 4 in. apart. A packet will sow 
about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. about 100 ft.; 10 to 12 Ibs. per acre. With little care, 
anyone can grow radishes. They are at their best, however, in finely and deeply 
prepared soil and when growth is quick and steady.
