RADISH 
Radish Culture 
Plant 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 
pounds per acre. Radishes are easily grown. 
For the best quality, growth should be quick 
and continuous, which means that the soil 
should not be allowed to become dry. The 
early bunching varieties do best during cool 
weather. Sow early in the spring, as soon as 
the ground is ready, even before the danger _. 
of a frost is over. If bothered by root mag- 
gots, small beds can be protected by making 
a frame from 6-inch boards and covering the 
top of this with cheesecloth. Plant about % 
inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and 
when up, thin to one or two inches apart. A

with small tops and small tap roots. The 
favorite variety with larger planters. Many 
prefer Crimson Giant for the home garden 
because it may be pulled as soon as the early
