Currie's farm & garden annual : spring 1922 47th year curriesfarmgarde19curr_5 Year: 1922 ( RADISH Culture—Radishes do best in a light sandy soil. For a successive supply sow from the middle of March until September, at intervals of two or three weeks. Sow in a hotbed for an early supply.

Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.25. earliest Deep Scarlet Forcing (Non Plus Ultra)—Similar to the preceding, only that the color is darker, resembling- the Early Round Dark Red, but earlier and smaller in the tops. This is an excellent forcing sort, used almost entirely in some sections for this purpose. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.10. Earliest Scarlet Globe (Regular stock)—The best all round Radish for early outdoor sowing. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.10. Early Wliite Turnip—An early round white Radish, crisp, tender and mild. Grown both outdoors and on account of its short top as a forcing sort. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.10.
