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