Olds’ Radish Seed is grown from hand-transplanted 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 become 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, opposite
