BROTHERS SURE CROP SEEDS 
RADISHES 
Radishes are one of the easiest to grow of all vegetables. You can have a good supply of nice crisp radishes for your table the 
whole summer from a plot of ground only 3 feet square. Lack of space certainly cannot be an excuse for not having crisp radishes 
on your table most of the summer. 
Sow the seed broadcast, or in rows 8 to 12 inches apart, cover 
seed only 2 inch deep. Successive sowings should be made to keep 
them coming on. To keep them crisp and delicious, pull promptly 
when mature.

ABOUT WATERING 
SOAK, DON’T SPRINKLE. Your garden needs water when the leaves look wilted in the sun and do not recover freshness over night. 
FREQUENT SPRINKLINGS ON THE SURFACE SOIL ARE NOT ONLY OF LITTLE VALUE, BUT MAY BE HARMFUL. 
Except for transplants, try to avoid watering the garden until it really needs water. WHEN YOU DO WATER, SOAK, DON’T 
SPRINKLE. Do a thorough job. The hose or sprinkler should be allowed to run on one spot until water stands on the surface in a pool. 
After watering, the soil should be moist to a depth of five to six inches. Check this with a spade to be sure. 

DO NOT WATER IN THE HEAT OF THE NOON DAY SUN. Watering should be done either early in the morning or late in the evening.
