RADISHES 
One package of seed will sow 15 feet of row; 1 ounce 60 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a 
very short time after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and 
other vegetables and lose their fresh crispness and juicy delicate flavor. You can 
not know how really good radishes are if you haven’‘t gone out in the garden in 
the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing sow in hotbed or under glass in rich*sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 
seeds to the foot and cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. Sow in garden,

Fall and Winter 
Radishes 
These radishes are not in- 
tended to be eaten like the 
spring sorts but should be 
sliced, salted down 15 min- 
utes, drained, and _ then 
served, without further dress- 
ing, when they are as tender 
as you could wish any radish 
to be. Sow in May and then 
every two weeks. The Octo- 
ber crop should be stored in 
sand for use in winter.
