Radishes 77 



Too much nitrogen will produce long vines and large 

 leaves but poor fruit. 



It has been generally thought that pumpkins 

 will cross with squashes, and melons with cucumbers, 

 but this has been proven not to be the case, in 

 many experiments. Therefore, they may safely 

 be planted within close area. 



RADISHES 



Radishes planted in a rich, moist soil will often 

 mature in two to three weeks after planting. The 

 seed should be sown in drills about a foot apart, 

 and the plants should be thinned to prevent 

 crowding, though one every two inches is not too 

 thick. 



In order to have fresh, crisp radishes throughout 

 the season, sow seed every two weeks. If radishes 

 remain in the ground too long, they will have a 

 stale, flat taste, even if they do not grow pithy. 

 Radishes may be grown throughout the winter 

 in hotbeds, requiring little attention. 



Sow both white and red radishes. They will 

 make a pretty garnish for the table.
