This is a very popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for 
radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broad- 
cast among other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been 
transplanted. lJariy varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during 
summer they require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Golden 
Globe and White Summer @arnip are best for planting during the summer months. 
The Half Long Searlet French is the only red kind raised for the New Orleans 
market, and all the other cities in the United States taken together do not use ag 
many of that one variety as New Orleans does. . I have sold nearly two thousand 
pounds of the seed per annum for the last twelve years.
