We test hundreds of varieties and strains of radishes on our trial and breeding farm 
each year. By these careful observations we are in a position to know that our Keystone 
Radish Seeds, carefully bred and grown by our own staff, are the very finest and best 
adapted for the purpose for which intended. 
Top length varies with growing conditions. Warmer temperatures and ample moisture 
tend to produce longer tops. Likewise, root color varies some with soil and growing con- 
ditions and root shape with soil and depth of planting. Deep planting, for example, tends 
to elongate the shape, even of the globe varieties, especially on heavier soil.
