RADISHES 
A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet. 
To get the best radishes in the open ground the soil should be loose and quite rich, and 
the growth quick and steady. Sow the seed in rows a foot apart and thin the plants to 
2 inches apart. Dusting the ground with lime or gypsum before the seed comes up will 
help keep the flies out and prevent injury by maggots. By sowing radish seed in August 
or the first part of September much better radishes can be raised than in the spring and 
summer, as they are not usually injured by maggots in the fall.

Outdoor Growing. These fine radishes 
are round to oval in shape with brilliant scarlet color and very fine tap roots. The

strains for outdoor growing and it is certainly one of the finest for the home garden.
