76 Teuok Geowing in the South. 



RADISHES. 



This vegetable is grown to some extent in the South, bijt 

 not generally, owing to the fact that it is a crop which is 

 produced in a very short time and under low temperature, 

 so is grown extensively in the North in hot houses. As a 

 crop for shipment it can hardly be recommended to the 

 market gardener, still it is grown in some localities for 

 shipment. A rich, sandy loam is preferred for it, and 

 the seed should be planted in drills &ix to eight inches 

 apart. This crop matures in three to four weeks after 

 seed are planted. The soil should be well supplied with 

 moisture and fertilizer in order to produce crisp roots. 



Vajeueties. 



The following varieties are recommended: Long Scar- 

 let, French Breakfast, Short Top and Chartier. For a 

 local market this vegetable may be grown on a limited 

 scale with profit, but could not be recommended for N^orth- 

 ern shipment. 



CARROTS. 



This is a vegetable that is easily grown and flourishes 

 at a low temperature. It will survive 24 degrees, and is 

 immune to root knot, and is easily grown, but there is a 

 limited demand for it and it can hardly be recommended 

 for a shipping crop. The seed should be sown thinly in 

 rows 16 inches apart and cultivated about the same as rad- 

 ishes or beets. A rich soil and plenty moisture is essen- 

 tial to a good quality.
