How te Grow Radishes 
Sow the seed of the earliest and midseason radishes as early in the 
spring as the ground can be worked, in rows 12 to 18 in. apart, cover- 
ing /% in, deep. Thin small varieties to stand 1 to 1% in. apart in the 
row; larger varieties, 3 to 4 in. apart. Make successive 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 moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best 
roots. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft.

moist sand in the cellar, fresh, crisp rad- 
ishes may be had during the early winter.

Because radish seeds 
germinate so quickly, 
they are often sown in 
the same row as seeds 
of beet, carrot, parsley 
, and parsnip. They not 
only mark the row 
where the slower grow- 
ing vegetables were 
sown, but often are 
usable before the com- 
panion crops have made 
any sizable growth.

spring radishes so that they are becoming ready to use when 
the others are gone. As they grow more slowly, they endure 
heat better and are valuable for summer use. Flesh is
