««M.-S.”” Varieties Are the Very Best 


RADISH 
M.-S. SELECTED SEED 
Sow I ounce of seed to 50-foot drill; 
10 pounds in drills to an acre 
Cuxture. To be tender and crisp Radishes 
must be grown quickly, and this requires 
rich soil and plenty of moisture. Commencing 
with the first mild spell in the spring, sow at 
intervals of 10 days. May also be sown as a 
catch crop between rows of beets, lettuce, 
onions, ete. Radishes can be forced in hot- 
beds, but must have plenty of ventilation 
and moisture. 
Early Varieties 
25 to 30 days 
Early Long Scarlet Short-Top. 
Early French Breakfast. Rapid grower. 
Oblong shape; very mild and tender; beau- 
tiful scarlet color, tipped with white. 
Icicle. Slender, smooth, pure white roots that 
average about 6 to 7 inches long when ma- 
tured. Quite early and of excellent quality. 
Long White Vienna or Lady Finger. 
M.-S. EARLY CARDINAL. These little 
ean: are of the most brilliant fiery red 
color that we have ever seen in a Radish. 
They are perfectly round and come so 
early in the season that if they were only 
of ordinary quality, they would be desir- 
able, but they are unusually tender and 
crisp. They will stand the heat, are fine 
for forcing and are most desirable for both 
the home-garden and market. 
New Glass or Cincinnati Market. A long 
scarlet Radish with a distinctive white tip. 
Fine for home-garden as well as an attrac- 
tive one for market stall.

ing and early outdoor planting. Small, 
round, red; with rich, crisp, tender flesh.

early forcing variety. Small; bright scar- 
let with white trp; good quality.

Bush Sorts: Sow 1 ounce of seed for 50 hills; 5 to 
6 pounds to an acre. Running Varieties: 3 to 4 
pounds in hills to an acre 
60 days. 
Cutture. Squashes should be planted in 
a warm, light, rich soil after the weather has 
become settled and warm—about the middle 
of May or June. Plant in well-manured hills, 
in the same manner as cucumbers and 
melons—the bush varieties 3 to 4 feet apart 
each way and the running kinds from 6 to 
8 feet; 8 to 10 seeds should be sown in each 
hill, thinning out after they have attained 
their rough leaves and danger from bugs is 
over, leaving 3 or 4 of the strongest plants 
per hill. About 60 and 100 days.

nal Hubbard. Fruit large, gray-blue,
