 CULTURE.— Radishes thrive best in a Hght, rich, mellow soil, and to. bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick 

 and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hot-beds during winter and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, in well 

 manured, deeply-dug and finely-raked soil; if not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough; sow in 

 drills 10 inches apart, and thin' to 2 inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. 

 Sow winler varieties in July and August; like the turnip, they make the best growth in autumn, and must be taken out before 

 severe frost, and stored away in a cool cellar m sand, or a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter; before using 

 put in cold water, which adds to their freshness.
