Rettig, oder Radieschen, Ger. Radis, Rave Petite et tonque, 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 lor 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 lough; 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.
