RADISHES 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce 75 feet. 
This is another vegetable that loses about half its flavor if not eaten within a very short 
time after it is taken from the ground. Radishes wilt like flowers and many other vegetables 
and lose their fresh crispness and juicy delicate flavor. You cannot know how really good 
Radishes are if you haven’t gone out in the garden in the early morning and pulled a few 
for your breakfast. 
For forcing sow in hotbed or under glass in rich, sandy loam. Scatter 50 to 100 seeds to 
the foot, and cover with one-fourth inch of soil sifted on. Sow in garden as early as pos- 
sible in rows about 1 toot apart, covering 2 inch deep, and thin to prevent crowding. 
A good dressing of nitrate of soda will greatly help their growth and make them tender aind 
crisp. Successive sowings every week or ten days will keep your table well supplied the entire 
season.

FALL and WINTER RADISHES 
These Radishes are not intended to be eaten like the spring 
sorts but should be sliced, salted down 15 minutes, drained, 
and then served without further dressing, when they are as 
tender as you could wish any Radish to be. Sow in May and 
then every 2 weeks. The October crop should be stored in sand 
for use in winter.

SALSIFY - Vegetable Oyster 
One of the most desirable winter vegetables. The roots, 
when cooked, have a flavor similar to oysters, are very palat- 
able and nutritious, and are served in a variety of ways. 
Salisfy succeeds best in a light, well-enriched soil. Sow early 
and auite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
Parsnips. While the roots are hardy and may remain out-of-doors all 
winter, they are more accessible when dug in the fall and stored in 
moist sand in a cool cellar or in a root house.
