RADISH CULTURE 
*% Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 te 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: See Page 2 for prepa- 
ration of the soil. Sow early in the spring, as soon as the 
ground is ready. 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 radishes.
