RADISH. 



Radieshen, Rettig, Ger. Radis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. Rabana, Sp. 

 One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill. 

 CULTURE. — Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a 

 crop in 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared, and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot 

 apart, and sow just seed enough so they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer may be 

 utilized for planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing also. Ob 

 greenhouse bench or in frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and August. They 

 grow best in the cooler autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar, or in a pit, where 

 they will keep tender and crisp all winter.

 Cardinal Globe. (See cut. ) Those who 

 like the crisp little red Radishes that 

 come so early will be pleased with this 

 variety. The Radishes grow globular in 

 shape, and are of a most brilliant cardi- 

 nal-red color. It will stand considerable 

 heat; therefore it is a quick forcer, and 

 the quality is fine, being crisp and ten- 

 der. It is by far the best variety for forc- 

 ing, and also does well in open ground.
