RADISH, Scarlet Globe 
RADISH 
1 oz. will plant a row 100 ft. long; 5 to 8 
lbs. will sow an acre in 12-in. rows. When 
broadcast, 15 lbs. of the long, or 25 to 30 lbs. 
of the globe varieties for an acre. 
Cu.Lture: To be tender and_ sweet, 
Radishes must grow quickly. In the latitude 
of Norfolk, sow outdoors, 4% tnch deep, from 
February to October, broadcast in drills 18 
inches apart, or on beds in 10-tnch drills, or 
in drills 1 foot apart. The early varieties are 
very hardy but do best if they are sheltered 
by fences or woods. The winter varieties 
are sown from the middle of July to the last 
of September and used as needed. Grown 
under glass or cottons, Radishes are greatly 
improved in quality, and under this cultiva- 
tion they may be sown at any desired time 
during the winter.
