RADISHES sau Gow 2uichly 
To be Tender and Crisp 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 9 to 10 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—Quick growth makes Radishes crisp and tender, and to grow 
well, they must have cool weather and light, rich soil. 
To have a continuous supply for the table, sow as early in the spring as pos- 
sible, and at intervals of 10 days thereafter until May 15th. To have Radishes 
in fall, three sowings of early varieties may be made at: weekly intervals, 
beginning August 15th. 
Wormy Radishes can be controlled by spraying with Carco. 
ing crop rotation, and changing the planting site each year, serious soil infes- 
tation can be overcome.
