WINTER RADISHES 



Culture. Winter Radishes should be sown after the middle of 

 June, sowing for succession, especially of the Chinese varieties, until 

 the middle of August. They grow best in the cooler weather. Dig 

 up before severe frost and store in sand in cool cellar. When they 

 are to be used throw them into cold 

 water for a short time and they will 

 regain their freshness. As winter 

 Radishes grow much larger than 

 spring Radishes, care should be taken 

 to thin them.

 ISH FROM JAPAN. This grows to 

 immense size, a single Radish fre-
