RADISH 



Rabanito, Sp. 

 Radies, GEE. 



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 that 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. On greenhouse bench or 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.
