RADISH 25 
HOW TO GROW RADISHES. For good, tender, 
well-shaped Radishes, you must have good, rich, deep, 
well-prepared soil. They cannot do well in hard 
“clayey” soil. Sow the seed early and make other 
sowings every two weeks. This gives you fresh tender 
Radishes all season. If too large a sowing is made at 
one time, they may get tough or pithy before ail can be 
used. Sow the seed in rows rather than broadcasting it, 
for when sown in rows they may be kept clean of weeds, 
and cultivated. Rows may be made 4 or 6 or 12 inches 
apart, depending on the quantity you are growing. 
Sow seed thin enough so they do not need to be thinned 
out. Sow seed of winter Radishes in July and August; 
then take them up before freezing and store in pits or 
cover with sand in the cellar, and they will keep fine 
all winter. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 10

SWISS CHARD 
(Spinach Beet or Leaf Beet) 
One ounce sows 50 feet of row; 70 lbs. 
an acre. 
SWISS CHARD is one of the finest foods 
you can grow. It is the ‘‘number one’’ of 
all the green leafy foods. It keeps giving 
you a continuous supply from spring until 
frost. Keep cutting from 2 to 3 inches above 
the ground and new leaves will continue to 
grow up. It is cooked and served like 
spinach but has its own distinct flavor and 
is rich in Vitamin A. Be sure to plant a 
row or two. Good for canning too. The 
midrib is also fine when prepared like 
asparagus. 55 days to table use. You folks 
who attend market are missing big sales 
on this if you do not grow it—and it is so 
easy to grow that hot dry weather has little 
or no effect on it. Cut it and it comes again.
