Kadishes, to be crisp and tender, must make a steady, rapid growth; therefore a rich, light, sandy 
soil is best adapted for their culture. 
For early spring use, sow in February in hotbed in 
rows six inches apart, and cover lightly; thin to one or two inches apart in the rows. They 
should be large enough for use in from four to five weeks from the time of planting. Plant 
in the open air as soon as the ground can be worked, on finely prepared beds in rows eight 
to ten inches apart; sow for succession every ten days or two weeks as long as wanted. 
The winter varieties should be planted in July’or August, taken up before seyere frost, 
packed in sand for winter use and stored in a cool cellar.
