RADISH. 



Ger. Rittig. Fr. Radis. 

 One oz. will sow 100 feet of drill. 

 The Radish is very hardy, and can be sown as 

 early as the ground will admit. To be crisp and 

 tender they should make a quick growth. The 

 soil should be very rich and light; sow the seed 

 in drills one foot apart and cover half an inch 

 deep; thin while small to two or three inches 

 apart; hoe often; for a succession sow at inter- 

 vals of two weeks. To keep the beetle from de- 

 stroying them sprinkle with ashes or air-slacked 

 lime. The winter varieties should be sown in 

 August; they must be taken up before severe 

 frosts and stored in a cool cellar and covered 

 witb earth. Put them in cold water an hour 

 before using. Every family should raise a sup- 

 ply of winter radishes.

 Ball, or Early Deep Siicarlet Turnip Forc-
