RADISHES 
Start outdoors as soon as the ground can be put in shape and 
sow seed of any of the quick-growing round or olive-shaped sorts, 
not too thick, in drills 14 inch deep and | to 1/4 feet apart. 
Thin out the seedlings promptly to stand about an inch apart in 
the rows. If not thinned out they will only produce tops and not 
develop a bulb. After putting in seed for the first crop, make 
additional sowings every ten days to two weeks, but for the later 
crops, which will ripen in warm weather, use the long varieties. 
For late summer and fall use, sow the Summer and Winter 
Radishes which are larger and slower growing but will, unlike the 
early round Radishes, thrive in hot weather. The Summer Rad- 
ishes may be sown any time up to August 1. The big Winter 
Radishes should be sown late in June to attain full size before 
frost. One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 
8 to 10 pounds will sow an acre

RHUBARB 
It is cheapest to start with seed but only a percentage of the 
plants grown from seed will be worth saving. Sow early in the 
spring, in drills an inch deep and a foot apart, and thin the 
plants to stand about 5 inches apart. The following spring, reset 
the best plants 3 to 4 feet part each way. If you start with roots, 
plant them with the crown about 1 inch below the surface. Give 
water, if needed, while the plants are producing and dress with 
manure every year after the cutting season is over.

SPINACH 
Spinach is a cool-weather crop and may be sown as soon as the 
ground can be made ready in the spring and followed with suc- 
cessive sOwings every ten days up to the middle of May. Make 
additional sowings in August and September for fall use. Sow in 
drills 14 inch deep, in rows about 12 inches apart, and thin the 
plants to stand about 2 inches apart. 
To provide Spinach during hot weather, when ordinary varieties 
do not thrive, make a sowing of the heat-resistant New Zealand 
Spinach in April. Sow in rows 3 feet apart and let the plants — 
stand about 1 foot apart in the row. 
NOTE—tThe time from sowing of seed to cutting of plants varies 
considerably with the season of the year in which sowings are made. 
Days given apply to spring sowings. ;
