COLE'S GARDEN AXXUAL. 



RADISH 



Get. Rettig. Ft. Radis. 

 One ounce 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 tt.e seed in drills one 

 foot apart and cover half an inch deep; thin while 

 small from two to three inches apart; hoe often; for 

 a succession sow at intervals of two weeks. To keep 

 the beetle from destroji.ng 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 with 

 earth. Put them in cold water an horn: before using. 

 Every family should raise a supply of winter radishes.
