RADISH 
CuLture. Plant Radishes on a light soil if a choice is possible and 
every second week for a succession from the time the soil can be worked 
in spring till the first light frost. Plant in 12 to 18 inch rows, cover the 
seed one-half inch deep and permit ten radishes to grow to the foot; use 
8 to 12 pounds of seed to the acre. Radish seed, which germinates quickly, 
may be sown with some slow germinating seed that the cultivation of that 
crop may begin the earlier or the quicker growing radish may be grown 
between the rows of some slow growing crop that later requires consid- 
erable space. Number of days given is from planting to roots of bunch- 
ing size.
