later than the above, may be named New Crystal Forc- 
ing (white), New White Lady-Finger, Succession, French 
Breakfast, Long Scarlet Short-top, Long Cardinal. As 
already stated, the long radishes are not so satisfactory 
for forcing as the smaller varieties are. It must also be 
borne in mind that varieties of radishes, as of most other 
vegetables, are constantly changing, so that the varieties 
which are recommended to-day may not be recommended 
a year from now. 
WASHINGTON EXPERIENCE.* 
In the vicinity of many of our large cities the grow- 
ing of radishes in greenhouses may, if properly done, 
prove a profitable industry. The following notes on the 
subject are based upon work carried on during the past 
four or five years, supplemented by observations extend- 
ing over a longer period: 
Houses adapted to growing radishes.— Radishes may 
be grown in almost any kind of a greenhouse, and for 
this reason the crop is a valuable one to work in with 
others, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. We do 
not advocate, however, the practice of growing radishes 
in’ a house with other crops, unless it is in certain special 
cases, where there is ground to spare and requirements 
for each crop are approximately the same. As is the 
case with all plants under glass, better results will follow 
if an entire house is devoted to one crop, thus making it 
possible to furnish, without fear of injury to other crops, 
the necessary requirements for growth. 
Three-quarter span houses, 18 feet wide, with two 
walks and three beds, will be found as convenient as any 
for the crop. Three-quarter span houses with one path 
will also be found useful. Such a house, with young rad- 
ishes just coming through the ground, is shown at Fig. 4o.
