RADISH 
RADISH. All Radishes — Packet, 5c; 
Y, ounce, 15c; ounce, 20c; The common 
Radish will germinate in four to five days and 
if grown properly will have useful roots ready 
to harvest in twenty-eight to thirty days. If it 
takes longer than this the roots will be spongy, 
acid or woody, hence useless. The secret of 
getting crisp, delicious radishes is quick 
growth; for this they need a rich mellow soil. 
Sow the seed about one-third of an inch deep 
in drills not over 8 to 12 inches apart. 
All through the spring a succession should be 
sown every ten days. Keep in mind that an old 
radish is a worthless one and being harvested 
as soon as possible, they must be quickly grown 
and of course kept thoroughly cultivated. It is 
advisable to use crude Naphthalene Flakes in 
the soil at the time of sowing seed. This will 
protect the crop from soil insects such as mag- 
gots and worms.

SPINACH. All Spinach, Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 
Spinach is a cool season annual grown for 
greens. No spinach will stand extreme summer 
heat without “shooting” seed stalks. For this 
reason the seed must be sown early in the 
spring or late in the summer to avoid the dan- 
ger of the crop maturing in July or August. 
For spring and summer use sow as early as the 
ground can be worked and make successive 
plantings every two weeks until May 15th. The 
leaves will be ready for use in four or five 
weeks after sowing. For autumn use, sow seed 
about August Ist. Spinach will grow very 
large and can be cut from the first of Septem- 
ber until the ground freezes.
