June for early summer crop, from July to Septem- 
ber for late use. Early sorts mature and are ready 
for the table in 21 to 30 days from sowing. Quick 
growth is essential for tender, crisp Radishes.

weeks for early use or as a catch crop between 
rows of beets, lettuce, onions, etc.

feet, 10 pounds an acre broadcast.
