RADISHES 
Radishes must grow quickly to be good, especially the small early sorts. The soil should 
therefore be thoroughly prepared. Start to sow right after trost is gone, at intervals of 10 days 
or so to insure a constant supply. Thin to 24 plants to the foot. 
If crowded, they run to 
leaves without making roots. Many gardeners sow the early sorts in the rows of slow-growing 
crops. The Summer and Winter varieties should be thinned to six to the foot; Winter varieties 
should not be sown until August. One ounce will sow 100 feet of row, 8 lbs. will sow an acre 
in drill, 12 lbs. broadcast. Our Radish Seed is strictly of the finest grade, being grown from 
carefully selected and transplanted roots. 
Price of Radish Seed as follows: 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 14 Ib. 50c., Ib. $1.25
