THE RAvDISH 
Varieties. The early scarlet turnip radishes and the 
French breakfast varieties are best for early use; they 
will be ready for the table in from four to six weeks. 
The larger half-long and long shapes are better adapted 
Fie. 154. Sowing Radish Seeds 
The seeds should be scattered in wide rows 
to summer use; they grow more slowly and therefore 
keep in good condition for a greater length of time. 
Time of planting. The spring varieties should be sown 
as early as the soil can be worked, and for a succession, 
every week or ten days. Summer varieties may be sown 
in May and June. Some of the early kinds may be sown 
late in August for fall use.
