RADISH 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 5 to 8 pounds will sow an acre in 12-inch rows. 
When broadcast, 15 pounds of the long, or 25 to 30 pounds of the globe varieties for an acre. 



Culture: The tenderness and sweetness of Radishes are greatly dependent upon the rapidity of 
their growth. In the latitude of Norfolk sow out-of-doors, % inch deep, from February to October, 
broadcast, in drills 18 inches apart, or on beds in 10-inch drills, or in drills 1 foot apart. The early 
varieties are very hardy, but do best if they are sheltered by fences or woods, 
The winter varieties are sown from the middle of July to the last of September 
and used as needed. Grown under glass or cottons, the quality of all Radishes 
is wonderfully improved, and under this cultivation they may be sown at any 
desired time during the winter. 
EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES 
Hy ef : ' (25 days). The greatest value 
Tait’s Thorobred Favorite Forcing. (¢frinictamous Radish, tntro- 
duced by us many years ago, lies in its availability for forcing, since it may 
be depended upon to reach marketable size in twenty-five to thirty days, but 
it is also used largely for field culture, and under the most favorable conditions 
it is possible to grow this Radish in four weeks. It is perfect in both shape and 
color, the skin being a bright transparent red, and the shape nearly that of an 
olive, beautiful and wonderfully uniform. Its crispness and delicacy of flavor 
make it an excellent variety for sowing at intervals in the family garden. Never 
buy this Radish except in sealed packages. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 44 Ib., 250;
