 inch deep. Do not allow the soil to become dry from 

 the time the seed is sown ; it is liable to make the 

 radishes pithy. 



Only a slight amount of cultivation is required. 

 Weeds may be kept down by pulling as they appear. 



The varieties may be cultivated in the open garden 

 also, but as they are wanted for table tit- bits and not 

 for market (in this section) we give them room in the 

 cold frame. 



FIG. 32. 



Figure 32 represents a bunch of Chartier radish as they are prepared 

 for local markets. The bunching for distant markets is about the same 

 except that most of the foliage is removed. 



The summer varieties should be sown in drills twelve 

 to eighteen inches apart, and about an inch apart in 

 the row. Cover the seed about an inch deep.
