This is a very popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. 
The eround 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 varie- 
ties are sown in this section the whole year, but during summer they 
require frequent watering to make them grow quickly. The Yellow 
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. : 
Early Long Scarlet. This is a very desirable variety; it is ofa 
bright scarlet colcr, short top, and very brittle. |
