CULTURE — One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all seasons by a judicious 

 selection of varieties suitable for difierent seasons. In soil rich in humus, the little early round and olive-shaped sorts will be ready for use 

 in from 3 to 4 weeks. Earliest sowings may be made as soon as frost is out of the ground. After May 1st, sow long varieties like White 



Icicle or Long Scarlet Short Top. After June 1st, select summer 

 varieties like Long White Vienna, or White Delicacy, and around 

 July 1st, sow the late but also large winter radishes for a fall and 

 winter supply. All radishes, to do their best, should be thinned 

 out to stand 2 to 6 inches apart in the row, the largest distance 

 given applying to the large growing winter varieties.
