ROSS’ RADISHES 
You'll Want Them All Summer - - 
Plant Every Two Weeks 
An ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. 
The secret in growing good Radishes consists chiefly in the observance 
on the part of the grower of three points. First, they should be grown on 
light, quick soil. Second, they should be given plenty of water, and last, 
but by no means least, the right kind of seed should be sown. For the 
first crop sow as early in spring as ground can be worked, and every two 
weeks through the season. A warm, sandy loam, made rich and light by 
strong manure, is best. Sow in drills 10 to 12 inches apart. The winter 
varieties should be sown in July and August. One ounce will sow 100 feet 
of drill, 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
* EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. A very early globe-shaped Radish suit- 
able for open ground. The Radishes are of handsome shape, attractive

rapidly that under favorable circumstances they may be pulled 20 days 
from sowing the seed. This is the most popular variety for forcing. Our 
seed is of the very finest strain grown from transplanted roots and will be 
found unsurpassed. Pkt., 15c; 0z., 25c; 4% Ib., 65c.
