How to 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, covering 1% in. deep. Thin small 
varieties to stand 1 to 1% in. apart in the row; larger varieties, 3 to 4 in. apart. 
Make additional plantings when the preceding planting is up and well started; 
these may be made 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 
soi mpomucee the smoothest and best roots. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row;

Midseason or 
Summer Radishes 
The following varieties require more time to 
mature than the 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 mildly pungent. 
We suggest a deep and thorough prepara- 
tion of the soil to obtain the best roots.

30 days. The very best long, brittle, red 
radish, almost 6 in. in length, and matures 
in about 4 weeks. Skin is an attractive 
bright scarlet-red; the tender flesh is icy 
white and of the finest flavor, somewhat 
more pungent than Icicle. Grow partly 
above ground which makes pulling easy.

Winter Radishes 
These require cool weather at the finish of 
their growing season. Sow seed in early 
summer for fall use; in midsummer for 
late fall and winter. By storing roots in 
moist sand in the cellar, fresh, crisp rad- 
ishes may be had during the early winter. 
We offer 3 best kinds. Give plants plenty 
of room by thinning out when young to 
stand 3 in. or more apart.

SPINACH 
* One of our most wholesome greens in the spring and early fall 
when cool weather is most favorable for its growth. Also suitable 
for quick freezing. The New Zealand Spinach will supply deli- 
cious greens throughout the summer and fall as it withstands 
heat, as will Swiss Chard and Tampala. Why not plant some of 
each class to supply you with vitamin-rich fresh greens through- 
out the season; canned or frozen during the winter?

How to Grow SPINACH 
Sow seeds very early in the spring, either broadcast or in rows 
18 to 24 in. apart; cover the seed with 1 in. of soil and thin 
plants to stand 5 or 6 in. apart in the rows. At each picking, ’ 
remove every other plant, which will allow room for remaining 
plants to fully develop. Additional sowings may be made when 
the preceding planting is up and growing, but the last should be 
two months before hot weather is expected. For fall use, sow in 
late summer; for early spring use, where winters are mild, sow 
in early fall and cover with a few inches of hay, leaves or litter. 
A pkt. will sow 25 ft. of row; 1 oz. 75 ft. 
Because radish seeds germinate so quickly, they are often scattered in the same row when 
sowing seeds of beet, carrot, parsley and parsnip. They not only mark the row where the 
slower-growing vegetables were sown, but often are usable before the companion crops have 
made any sizable growth. For this purpose, use the earliest varieties.

spinach in appearance and flavor. It makes strong plants which resist 
heat and give an abundance of rich green foliage all during the summer 
and fall. Sends out fresh growth continuously after being cut so thata 
supply of ‘‘greens’’ may be had until frost destroys the plants. Both 
the young stem tips and leaves are fleshy and brittle and of the finest 
quality when cooked as you would spinach. Plants are not 
hardy; they attain a spread of 4 ft. when fully grown.
