48 THE RADISH 
14. On the upper side of the leaf where are most of the 
hairs? Where are they on the under side ? 
15. Pull off the leaves one by one and notice how they 
grow out of the radish. Do vou find one very 
tiny leaf in the middle? Why is it there ? 
Vertical Section 
16. Make a vertical section of a radish. Notice the 
white inside; the pink outside; the green spot 
where the leaves grow out; the green line running 
part way down the middle. Is the pink outside 
layer eren all over, or is it thicker in one part of 
the radish and thinner in another? Where is it 
thickest ? 
In some radishes there are small holes near the 
center, but all radishes do not have them. 
Cross Section 
17. Make a cross section. Notice the white inside; the 
pink outside, Is this an even layer all around? 
Notice the fine lines radiating from the center. 
These lines look clearer than the rest of the 
radish, and resemble little needles of ice, though 
of course they are not ice. 
In some radishes there is a ring of holes halfway to 
the center; in others a ring of snow-white patches.
