OLDS’ CRISPY RADISHES 
Olds’ Radish Seed is grown from hand- transplanted roots. In this 
way the types are kept pure and true and no seed is produced that 
is not from perfectly sound radishes. Growers who raise radishes 
for the market should use only seed of this type. The crop can be 
placed on the market earlier than from ordinary seed and also quality 
radishes can be had long after radishes grown from ordinary seed 
have become pithy and hollow. All growers should sow the best seed 
obtainable if they want to receive the maximum profit from their 
crop. Kor larger amounts see our Market Gardeners’ List, opposite

GARDENING FOR HEALTH 
Sweet corn, green peas and other vegetables 
are at their sweetest and best only when they 
can be brought direct from the garden to 
the kitchen and cooked within an hour or 
so. This is true of most all vegetables. Re- 
member, vitamins are the most abundant in 
the fresh green and yellow vegetables.
