FOR A SUCCESSFUL GARDEN PLANI 
RADISHES 
Radishes are one of the easiest to grow of all vegetables. You can have a good supply 
of nice crisp radishes for your table the whole summer from a plot of ground only 3 
feet square. Lack of space certainly cannot be an excuse for not having crisp radishes 
on your table most of the summer. 
Sow the seed broadcast, or in rows 8 to 12 inches apart, cover seed only 4 inch deep. 
Successive sowings should be made to keep them coming on. To keep them crisp and 
delicious, pull promptly when mature.

ABOUT WATERING 
SOAK, DON’T SPRINKLE. Your garden needs water ‘when the leaves look 
wilted in the sun and do not recover freshness over night. FREQUENT 
SPRINKLINGS ON THE SURFACE SOIL ARE NOT ONLY OF LITTLE VALUE, Icicle Radish 
BUT MAY BE HARMFUL. 
Except for transplants, try to avoid watering the garden until it really SPINACH 
needs water. WHEN YOU DO WATER, SOAK, DON’T SPRINKLE. Do a 
thorough job. The hose or sprinkler should be allowed to run on one spot 
until water stands on the surface in a pool. After watering, the soil should 
be moist to a depth of five to six inches. Check this with a spade to be 
sure. 
DO NOT WATER IN THE HEAT OF THE NOON DAY SUN. Watering should 
be done either early in the morning or late in the evening.

a foot apart early in the spring or from August 15th ta frost. An 
ounce will sow 109 feet; 8-10 pounds per acre.
