RADISHES HOW TO ENJOY THEM THE YEAR 

 AROUND 



THOSE who are very fond of radishes will appreciate 

 the following plan, which, if put to a test, will pro- 

 vide crisp roots from spring until spring. 



Middle of April, sow fifteen-foot rows, of each Rapid 

 Red, Scarlet Turnip White Tip, French Breakfast, and Whits 

 Icicle. Repeat this planting by May 1st, and follow with 

 a row each of Icicle, Long Scarlet Short Top, and Lady 

 Finger by May I5th. 



During the latter part of May, sow Icicle, Chartier, and 

 Lady Finger, following this during June by repeated sow- 

 ings of the last two as well as White Delicious. Through- 

 out July sow California Mammoth Winter or China Rose 

 and either Round or Long Black Spanish for fall and winter 

 use. (See illustration of sorts, from left to right, Long 

 Black Spanish, California Mammoth, and China Rose.) 



All the extra early sorts lend themselves splendidly to 

 intensive cultivation, since crops of them may be grown 

 between the rows of later maturing vegetables like onions, 

 tomatoes, beets, etc.
