S. N. & S. CO’S. PEERLESS RADISHES 
(1 oz. will sow 100 feet of drill— 8 to 10 lbs. per acre) 
Radishes require light, rich and mellow soil to insure quick growth. If permitted to grow slowly, they 
become tough and pithy. Frequent planting will insure a constant supply. Summer varieties can be sown 
all Spring and well into Summer. 
or July. 
Winter varieties, however, require some time to mature; plant in June 
Be sure to sow Radishes at 10-day intervals from early Spring to have a regular supply for 
your table. .To enable you to do so we recommend the following: Extra Early Saxa, French Breakfast 
and White Icicle.

young plants to 4 or 5 inches. The te

Winter use. Those remaining will suf-§

ground until Spring, but should be dug§ 
before growth starts. :

Sow seed early in the Spring in shallow drills 1 
foot apart; thin out to stand 4 to 5 inches apart 
in the row. The following Spring the roots should 
be transplanted into permanent beds and placed 3 
feet apart each way; two years after sowing the 
seed the Rhubarb may be used. Do not cut Rhu- 
barb; pull it so that it comes out whole from the 
crown. 
For forcing, take up some of the larger roots 
and plant in a dark corner of the cellar. Cultivate 
Rhubarb frequently, even after the cutting season 
is over and top-dress with fertilizer in the fall at 
least every other year.

with plenty of juice. The most popular variety.
