BUCHANAN’S RADISH SEEDS 
CULTURE—Sow in open ground in spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow in 
rich sandy loam, in drills 18 inches apart; thin plants to prevent crowding. Keep the 
soil loose and apply a little nitrate of soda. Successive plantings should be made 
every 10 days or 2 weeks to keep up a continuous supply of crisp and tender radishes. 
For early use plant the round or button radishes and olive shaped. For later use plant 
the long and half-long varieties. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Plant in rows 15 inches apart, plants 3 inches apart, 8 to
