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

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

 manured deeply-d'u<T and finely-raked soil ; if not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough; sow in 

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

 Sow winter vari'eties'in July and August; like the turnip, they make the be^t growth in autumn, and must lie taken out before 

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

 in cold water, which adds to their freshness.
