Light, sandy soil, rich in organic matter is essential to pro- 
duce crisp and tender radishes. For an early crop sow the seed 
as soon as the ground can be worked, in drills 6 to 10 inches 
apart, covering the seed half an inch deep. When the plants are 
well started, thin out to one inch apart in the drills) Frequent 
watering in dry weather is very beneficial as high quality is 
largely dependent upon rapid growth. For a continuous supply, 
successive plantings should be made at intervals of 10 days 
to two weeks, selecting varieties best suited for the season.
