RADISHES must grow Quickly 
To be Tender and Crisp 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 9 to 10 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—Quick growth makes Radishes crisp and tender, and to grow 
well, they must have cool weather and light, rich soil. Cover seed \% inch. 
To have a continuous supply for the table, sow as early in the spring as pos- 
sible, and at intervals of 10 days thereafter until May 15th. To have Radishes 
in fall, three sowings of early varieties may be made at weekly intervals, 
beginning August 15th. 
Wormy Radishes can be controHed by dusting with Maggot Destroyer. 
By practicing crop rotation, and changing the planting site each year, serious 
soil infestation can be overcome.
