OLDS’ CRISPY RADISHES 
Olds’ Radish Seed is grown from hand-trans- 
planted roots. In this way the types are kept 
pure and true and no seed is produced that is 
not from perfectly sound radishes. Growers 
who raise radishes for the market should use 
only seed of this type. The crop can be placed 
on the market earlier than from. ordinary seed 
and also quality radishes can be had long after 
radishes grown from ordinary seed have _ be- 
come pithy and hollow. All growers should sow 
the best seed obtainable if they want to receive 
the maximum profit from their crop. For larger 
amounts see our Market Gardeners’ List, op- 
posite page 1. 
CULTURE: Planting radish seed at improper 
depths is often the cause of the bulbs being 
various shapes. Plant about % inch deep. Rad- 
ishes do best on a light, rich, mellow soil. Sow 
in drills 10 inches apart and thin to two inches 
in the row. Sow the early round red sorts first, 
the long-growing varieties a week later, and the 
winter varieties in July and August.
