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, gypsum or DDT before the seed comes up 
will help keep the flies out and reduce injury by maggots. Sow early 
in the spring as they do best in cool weather. Fall crops are excellent 
as they are not so likely to be injured by maggots. 
715 EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. “ons Island Strain. 
The Best Type for 
Outdoor Growing. These fine radishes are round to oval in shape 
with brilliant scarlet color and very fine tap roots. The tops are 
medium sized and the flesh is pure white, crisp and tender. The 
great uniformity and fine color of this stock have made it one of the 
most popular commercial strains for outdoor growing and it is 
certainly one of the finest for the home garden. We highly rec- 
ommend it.

705 CAVALIER. The Best Short Top Scarlet Globe. We 
think this is one of the finest radishes 
grown, and recommend it most highly. It is an early, rapid grow- 
ing type with a brilliant scarlet color which makes them most 
attractive. They are the true olive shape, very uniform, crisp and 
mild and have the ability to stand a long time without becoming 
soft. The tops grow somewhat shorter than Early Scarlet Globe. 
This is an excellent early variety for outdoors, greenhouses, spring 
frame forcing and growing on muck.

707 COMET. Long Standing Round. This fine round radish is

than other kinds and still remain firm and solid with crisp mild flesh. 
The shape is round and the color is a fine bright scarlet. Highly recom- 
mended for the home garden and growers who want a round radish. 
nearly the same diameter the whole length. Should be grown in every

quality. They grow 4 or 5 in. long with crystal white, tender mild flesh.

A packet will sow 15 ft. of row; an ounce 75 ft. 
“Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is easily grown and is used in. the late fall and winter

vegetable to grow. 
The largest roots are grown on rather light rich soil, but good ones can be produced on almost 
any good garden land. Sow the seed in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the plants to 3 inches 
apart. The roots can be used any time in the fall, winter or early spring. Before the ground 
freezes a supply of roots should be dug and placed in moist sand in the cellar for use during 
the winter.
