RADISH 



Sow spring varieties outdoors as early as the ground 

 can be worked, and for succession every week or ten 

 days until the middle of June. Sow again in late 

 August for the fall crop. Summer sowings seldom do 

 well, and should be in cool ground with partial shade 

 or a northerly exposure. 



Fig. 109. Radishes, the long type. 



Sow summer varieties from May through July, 

 every two or three weeks for succession. 



Sow winter radishes in May or June. Of these there 

 is usually but a single crop. 



Sow always thinly. 



Thin to three to six inches, according to variety. 



Transplanting. Where the time and labor can be 

 given, transplanting will give better results, as the 

 weak plants are discarded and the crop will be uniform. 

 Transplant at the fourth leaf.
