A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; L ounce about 75 feet; 10 pounds per acre. 
Sweet, crisp and colorful radishes are usually those that have madea — 
quick growth. Sown outdoors in early spring, reseedings are made at 
bi-weekly intervals until August, many gardeners making an additional 
sowing in September. The seed is covered lightly, being thinned to stand 
1 to 2 inches between plants. The best results will be obtained on a 
sandy loam soil amply supplied with well-rotted manure. This is an 
ideal vegetable to plant between rows of less rapid germinators, such 
as parsnips. y
