RADISH 



Sow Radish seed about every two weeks, grow- 

 ing only about what quantity you can use between 

 crops. Summer varieties should be used for plant- 

 ing during July and August, as they withstand hot 

 weather better than the early sorts. For winter use, 

 sow seed of the Winter Varieties in July and they 

 can be harvested before severe frosts and stored in 

 sand in a cool cellar.
