RADISH. 



Retlig, oder Radieschen, Ger. Radis, Rave Pelite ettonque, Fr. Rabaiios v Rabamtos, Sp. 

 CULTURE. — Radishes thrive best in a light, 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 the 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. Sovi- at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. 

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

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

 in cold water, which adds to their freshness.
