BURPEE'S RADISHES 
If your garden includes some of each of the three different classes of radishes—spring, summer, and 
winter varieties—it will easily keep you supplied with this refreshing vegetable practically all year 
around. A moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best roots. Sow the seed of spring 
and summer radishes as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. 
apart, covering % in. deep. Thin small varieties to stand 1 to 1% in. apart in the row; larger 
varieties, 3 to 4in. apart. Make succession plantings every 10 days until early summer, then 
resume one month before frost. Seed of winter radishes is sown in the summer for fall and 
winter use. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.
