RADISHES. 



Forty-three varieties of radish were sown May 7, in rows ten feet long 

 with two and one half feet space between rows. After vegetation, the 

 radishes were thinned to two or three inches apart. Plaster mixed with a 

 small quantity of London Purple was used with good effect in preventing 

 the ravages of the Flea beetle.
