RADISH 
One ounce will plant a row 100 feet long; 5 to 8 pounds 
will sow an acre in 12-inch rows. When broadcast, 15 pounds of 
the long, or 25 to 30 pounds of the globe varieties for an acre. 
Culture: The tenderness and sweetness of Radishes are 
greatly dependent upon the rapidity of their growth. In the 
latitude of Norfolk sow out-of-doors, % inch deep, from 
February to October, broadcast, in drills 18 inches apart, or 
on beds in 10-inch drills, or in drills 1 foot apart. The early 
varieties are very hardy, but do best if they are sheltered 
by fences or woods. The winter varieties are sown from the 
middle of July to the last of September and used as needed. 
Grown under glass or cottons, the quality of all Radishes 
is wonderfully improved, and under this cultivation they may 
be sown at any desired time during the winter.

Tait’s Thorobred Favorite Forcing. 
(25 days). The greatest value of this famous Radish, intro- 
duced by us many years ago, lies in its availability for forc- 
ing, since it may be depended upon to reach marketable size 
in twenty-five to thirty days, but it is also used largely for 
field culture, and under the most favorable conditions it is 
possible to grow this Radish in four weeks. It is perfect in 
both shape and color, the skin being a bright transparent 
carmine, and the shape nearly that of an olive, beautiful 
and wonderfully uniform, medium tops. Its crispness and 
delicacy of flavor make it an excellent variety for sowing at F 
intervals in the family garden. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ihb., 35c; BE AC a
