CULTURE. — The soil for Radishes should be very rich, 

 light and mellow, well broken by digging, as their tender and 

 mild qualities depend much upon their rapid growth. For 

 very early use, sow in gentle hotbeds in February, and in the 

 open air as soon as the ground can be worked, at intervals 

 of ten or twelve days for a succession as long as they may 

 be wanted. The winter varieties should be sown in August, 

 lifted before severe frost, and stored in the cellar.
