RADISH CULTURE 
% Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
Radishes are easily grown. For the best quality, growth should 
be quick and continuous, which means that the soil should not 
be allowed to become dry. The early bunching varieties do 
best during cool weather. See Page 3 for preparation of the 
soil. Sow early in the spring, as soon as the ground is ready, 
even before danger of frost is over. If bothered by root mag- 
| gots, small beds can be protected by making a frame from 
6-inch boards and covering the top of this, with cheesecloth. 
| Plant about % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and 
when up, thin to one or two inches apart. A succession of 
plantings should be made in order that you will always have 
young, crisp and tender radishes. Use before the roots become 
pithy. 



OUR RADISH SEED 
We have especially fine Early Scarlet Globe both in the short 
and medium topped strains. The favorite sorts with larger 
planters. The new Comet is the brightest colored of red 
radishes. Many prefer Crimson Giant for the home garden 
because it may be pulled as soon as the early sorts and will 
continue to grow until reaching a maximum diameter of about 
two inches without becoming pithy. White Icicle is the favorite 
long white radish. 

Comet 27 days. Brightest colored of the bunching radishes. 
. Shape globe, suitable for use when % inch in diameter, 
but will grow to larger size without becoming pithy. Top slightly 
larger than Scarlet Globe; roots clear; solid color.
