RADISH (Cont.) 
Culture—For early planting, radishes should be planted on high land, and seed from 
the larger tops should be used. Sow in rows 16 in. apart and when weather gets 
warmer, radishes should be planted on low land or muck soil and seed from the 
shorter tops should be used. In order to have fine radishes at all times they should 
be planted from 2 to 3 times a week—then you will have good radishes for the 
market every day. Later in the fall they should be planted on high land again 
and seed from the larger tops should be used.
