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 maggots, 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 rad- 
ishes. 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 rad- 
ishes. 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 
eu becoming pithy. White Icicle is the favorite long white 
radish.
