RADISHES 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce 75 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very short time 
after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and many other vegetables and lose 
their fresh crispness and juicy delicate flavor. You cannot know how really good Radishes are if 
you haven’t gone out in the garden in the early morning and pulled a few for your breakfast. 
For forcing sow in hotbed or under glass in 
rich sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 seeds to the 
foot, and cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. Sow in gorden as early as possible in rows 
about one foot apart, covering 1 inch deep 
, and thin to prevent crowding. A good dressing of 
nitrate of soda will greatly help their. growth and make them tender and crisp. Successive sowings 
every week or ten days will keep your table well supplied the entire season. 
Cavalier. A new brilliant scarlet, olive- 
shaped Radish, very uniform in size and shape. 
Quick growing and with short tops. Flesh solid, 
crisp, mild and pure white. We rank this next 
to Vick’s Early Scarlet Globe for both garden 
and greenhouse use, but better for growing on 
muck land.

both lived up to the splendid reputation they 
have as tops in the garden varieties.
