How to Grow Radishes 
Sow the seed of the earliest and midseason radishes 
as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, in 
rows 12 to 18 in. apart, covering ¥% in. deep. Thin to 
stand 1 to 2 in. apart in the row. Make additional 
plantings when the preceding planting is up and well 
started; these may be made until early summer, then 
resume one month before frost. Seed of winter rad- 
ishes is sown in the summer for fall and winter use. A 
moderately light soil produces the smoothest and best 
roots. A pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row; 1 oz. 100 ft. 
When sowing beets, carrots, parsley and parsnips, 
mix in a few radish seeds to mark the rows where the 
slower-growing vegetables were sown.
