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 
hive hecome pithy and hollow. All growers should sow the kest seed 
obtainable if they want to receive the maximum profit from their 
crop. For larger amounts see our Market Gardeners’ List, opposite 
page 1. 
CULTURE: Planting radish seed at improper depths is often the 
cause of the bulbs being various shapes. Plant about % inch deep. 
Radishes do best on a light, rich, mellow soil. Sow in drills 10 
inches apart and thin to two inches in the row. Sow the early 
round red sorts first, the long-growing varieties a week later, and the 
winter varieties in July and August. One packet will sow 25 feet 
12 pounds an acre. 
MAGGOT CONTROL. A simple control for maggots, which 
attack cabbage, onion, and radish crops is Chlordane Dust. This 
dust, which you will find listed in our catalog in one-pound sifter top 
cans, should be applied to the rows as the seedlings emerge, and 
again about one week later. Order your requirements with your seed.
