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 vege- 
tables 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 mérning 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 as early as pos- 
sible in rows about 1 foot apart and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing of nitrate 
of soda will greatly help their growth and make them tender and crisp. Successive sow- 
ings every week or ten days will keep your table well supplied the entire season.

shaped red Radish; Sparkler the best 
round red with a white tip; Comet is the 
best round red Radish; Icicle the best long

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.
