RADISH. 



Radies [Fr.], Radies, Rettig [Ger.J, Rabano [Sp]., Rafano, Rafanei.i.o [Ita.] 

 This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for radishes should 

 be rich and mellow. The earl}^ small varieties can be sown broad -cast among other crops^ 

 such as beets, peas, spinach, or w'here lettuce has been transplanted. Barly varieties are 

 sown in this section the whole 3'ear, but during summer they require frequent watering to 

 make them grow quickly. The Goldon 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 to- 

 gether do not use as many of that one variety as New Orleans does. Nearly two thousand 

 pounds of the seed is annually sold in our store to market gardeners.
