RADISHES from April to December are 
possible for the home gardener who sows 
early, midseason, summer and winter types. 
Our strains are grown with the greatest | 
care, which involves considerably increased 
cost,.but the additional cost is small com= 
pared with the great differencein your crop. 
Quick growth is the secret of success. A 
rich, light soil is required. The globe and | 
olive varieties grow faster than thelongtype, | 
and turn pithy sooner, The long types grow 
more slowly and are slower to turn pithy, so 
they endure heat better. Winter radishes 
should be sown in Juneor later and allowed 
to develop in the cool, moist fall weather, 
Quantity needed for 15 to 20 ft., 1 pkt.; 
75 ft., 1 oz. '
