ish between. Early beets, bunch onions, early carrots 

 and early turnips may be substituted for radish, but the 

 spacing should be more liberal. Any of these crops will 

 mature in time to grow a fall crop of carrots, turnips,

Sow early beets in May with rows as straight as possi- 

 ble. Cultivate with a horse. At the proper time, re- 

 move enough beet plants at intervals of 20 inches in 

 alternate rows to set late cabbage plants. Any small 

 early maturing crop may be substituted for beets. 



10. PARSNIP, LETTUCE AND RADISH.

Seed of all these crops is sown early. After the rad- 

 ishes are sold, use horse cultivator. Care is required in 

 cutting lettuce to avoid injury to parsnip. 



ii. RADISH AND CARROT. A Wisconsin grower sows 

 early radish and carrot seed together in the same row. 

 The radishes are removed before there is much injury 

 to the carrot plants. Radish seed may also be used in 

 the same way with salsify and parsnips.
