RADISHES vor ren 
One of the easiest crops to grow, radishes will succeed in any good, well prepared and fertilized 
soil. Sow about 4% inch deep in rows a foot apart and thin to 1 or 2 inches apart in the row. 
Make succession plantings every week or ten days throughout the cool weather of spring and 
early fall. For root maggots, use Chlordane. (See page 82.)
