HOW TO GROW RADISH 
Plant 1 oz. to each 100 feet of drill, 10 to 12 pounds per acre. Radishes 
are easily grown. For the best quality, growth should be quick and continu- 
ous, which means that the soil should not be allowed to become dry: See Page 
4 for preparation of the soil. Sow early in the spring, as soon as the ground 
is ready. If bothered by root maggots, small beds can be protected by mak- 
ing a frame from 6-inch boards and covering the top of this with cheese- 
cloth. Plant about % inch deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and when up, 
thin to one or two inches apart. A succession of plantings should be made 
in order that you will always have young, crisp and tender radishes.
