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. Early 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 Turnip are best for planting during 

 the summer months. The Half Long Scarlet 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 as 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.
