RADISH 
CULTU RE — 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 summers are very hot, sow until the fifteenth of May and then omit 
until A ugust. Then make three sowings at intervals during that month. Radishes are divided into three classes — spring, summer 
and winter kinds, and all kinds should be used in a garden. Radishes are fit for the table in 25 to 40 days from sowing in the open ground. For extra 
early crop sow seed in hot bed in February. One ounce for each 100 ft. of row.
