Nicholson’s Quality Radish Seed 
(Rabanos) 5 

To have tender and crisp Radishes, they must be grown very quickly and in order to do this 
they should be planted in very rich soil and have plenty of water, commencing in the spring and 
sowing at intervals of about a week or ten days. By doing this you will have nice fresh Radishes 
all the time. For fall and winter use you should start sowing seed in August and September, 
using the same methods as for spring planting. One ounce of seed will sow about 40 feet of drill, 
and about 5 or 6 pounds an acre.

GOOD SEED ARE POWERFUL 
Isn't it something to marvel at—the tre- 
mendous power a tiny seed possesses—to 
think that a minute and insignificant-look- 
ing little seed can, with the aid of “Mother 
Nature” and man, grow into such a com- 
paratively huge plant, as many varieties 
do and be of such great benefit to man- 
kind, is something to wonder about. But 
one thing we are positive about is that 
without GOOD seed we cannot expect 
GOOD results.
