Michell’s Select Radish 
Seed 
Radis (Fr.) Radies 
Ravanelli (/tal.) 
One ounce will sow 75 feet of row; 
8 to 10 pounds, an acre 
Radishes should be sown in good rich 
ground, where they can make rapid growth, 
for then only do they produce the best re- 
sults. Early sowings can be made as soon as 
frost is out of the ground. The winter Radishes 
are sown in July and are developed by autumn, 
at which time they may be taken up and 
stored in a cool cellar and covered with sand.

also be grown successfully under hotbed sash.
