The Busy Woman s Garden Book 



A surprising amount of radishes will be grown 

 in this way, without any special labor and loss 

 of ground ; and they will be out of the way before 

 the ground is needed for the permanent occupant 

 of the row. 



The turnip rooted sorts are the most quickly 

 and easily grown, the Twent}'- Day as its name 

 indicates being ready for use in twenty days and 

 the French Breakfast and Improved Breakfast 

 Radish being ready in twenty-five; both of these 

 are very tender, crisp and mild sorts and beauti- 

 ful in appearance, white at the base and scarlet 

 above, making a beautiful appearance when pre- 

 pared for the breakfast table with a bit of the 

 green top for contrast. For those who prefer a 

 white radish the Icicle Radish is a fine sort, crisp 

 and tender and does not grow coarse or pithy 

 until quite large. 



If one wishes to devote a definite space to rad- 

 ishes and maintain a succession of plants it will 

 be a good plan to drop a seed in the ground for 

 each radish pulled; in this way there will be a con- 

 stant supply of young, crisp radishes all summer.
