SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS
RADISHES
1 oz. for 100 feet of drill; 9 lbs. per acre.
Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to produce
crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed as soon
as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches apart, cover-
ing the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are well started,
thin out to one inch apart in the drills. Frequent watering in dry
weather is very beneficial as high quality is largely dependent upon
rapid growth. For a continuous supply, successive plantings should
be made at intei^'als of 10 days to two weeks, selecting varieties
best suited for the season.
Extra Early Scarlet Globe (Outdoor Forcing)
From Specially Selected Transplanted Roots
This is the market gardener's favorite as a forcing Radish, very
early; mild and crisp, juicy and tender; top small, will stand heat
without becoming pithy. One of the best selling and most attrac-
tive Radishes on account of its bright scarlet color and handsome
shape. Our stock of this is the very best, selected with special
care as to size, shape, color and earliness, and market gardeners
will find it a money maker, as it is just right in every respect.
