 1 oz.for 100/ee< of drill; 9 to 10 Z&s. in drills for an acre. 



Radishes thrive .best in a light, sandy loam ; heavy or clayey soils not only delay their maturity, but produce 

 crops much inferior both in appearance and flavor. For a successive supply sow from the middle of March until 

 September, at intervals of two or three weeks. For an early supply they may be sown in a hot-bed in 

 February, care being taken to give plenty of ventilation, otherwise they will run to leaves.
