Radish 
One ounce will sow 100 ft. of row; 10-12 lbs. to the acre. Rows should be 12-15 inches apart and sow % in. deep. 
To insure well shaped radishes the ground should be finely pulverized and only well rotted manure or fertilizer 
used. Fresh manure will ruin the crop. First sowings are made as soon as the ground can be worked as radishes 
are hardy, then successive sowings should be made up to hot weather. To avoid pithiness the crop should be 
grown quickly and pulled when mature. If planted too deep, radishes usually grow too long. 
Use short top 
varieties in hot beds.
