Dkeer's Cardinal Globe Radish. 



RADISH. 



Reltig, oder Radiescken, Ger. Radh, Rave Petite et ionque, Fr. RaUanos 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 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 giowlh, 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 betaken out before severe frost, and stored away 

 in a cool cellar in sand, or a pit, wliere they will keep tender and crisp all winter; before using put in cold water, vihich adds to 

 their freshness.
