RADISHES 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get the best radishes in the open ground the soil should be loose and quite rich, and the 
growth quick and steady. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart and thin the plants to 2 inches 
apart. Dusting the ground with lime or gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep the 
flies out and prevent injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August or the first part of 
September much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they are 
not usually injured by maggots in the fall.
