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.
