What to Grow 



stored in a rather cool, dry place. The cellar 

 is generally too damp for it. An airy, frost- 

 proof loft is a better place in which to keep it. 



RADISH 



Not much space will be required for growing 

 this favorite vegetable, as large quantities can 

 be grown in small space. As it soon matures, 

 it will be out of the way early in the season, 

 and the ground originally given up to it can 

 be planted with other vegetables. 



A light, sandy soil is the ideal one for the 

 radish. Quickness of gro^^h is very important. 

 It must be hurried ahead as rapidly as pos- 

 sible, and this is best done by making the soil 

 very rich, and choosing a location fully ex- 

 posed to the Sim. Use old, well-decomposed 

 manure, and work it thoroughly into the soil, 

 which should be turned over and over until 

 it is as fine as it can possibly be made. Sow 

 the seed in rows four inches apart. Cover 

 lightly. In order to have a succession, continue 

 to sow seed at intervals of a week or ten days. 



For a very early crop, sow in hot-bed, where 

 the plants can be allowed to remain until they 

 mature.
