RADISH. 



Eettig, oder Radieschen, Ger. RaJis, Rave Petite et tongue, Fr. 



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. 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 a cool cellar m sand, or a pit, 

 where they will keep tender and crisp all winter ; before using put in 

 cold water, which adds to their freshness.
