18 SEED CATALOGUE AND GARDEN GUIDE.

RADISH.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE.

One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill;
Eight to ten pounds will sow one acre in drills.

Radish seed should be sown in light, rich soil as early as the ground can be worked, and for a
succession, at intervals of two weeks until midsummer. Radishes must be grown quickly and have
plenty of room or they will invariably be tough and pithy. Sow in drills one foot apart and thin to
two or three inches apart as soon as the rough leaves appear. Most of our radish seed was grown
for us in France, "the natural home of radishes," and we think it cannot be surpassed.
