Drehr's Cardinal Globe Radish. 



RADISH. 



Rcttig, oder Radieschen, Ger. R.idis, Rave Petite et toiique, Fr. Rabanos y Rabanitos, Sp, . 

 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 early use in hotbeds 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. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. Sow winter varieties in July 

 and August ; like the Turnip, they make the best growth in autumn, and must be taken out before severe frost, and stored away in 

 cool cellar in sand, or a pit, where they keep tender and crisp; before using put in cold water, which adds to their freshness.
