RADISH. 



Radieshen, Rettig, Ger. Badis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. Rabana, Sp. 

 One ounce of seed will sow loo 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 in frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and August. They 

 grow best in the cooler .\utuinn 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.
