CULTURE—Radishes thrive best in a sandy, loamy soil, and to 
have a continuous supply for the table sow as early in the spring 
as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the sum- 
mers are very hot, sow until the fifteenth of May and then omit until 
August. Then make three sowings at intervals during this month.

tive radishes grown. The roots

is very early, oval-shaped, and

ling white, solid, crisp and juicy
