A-B-C OF VEGETABLE GARDENING 



It is well to plant this vegetable for a suc- 

 cession. One of the best early varieties is 

 Beauty of Hebron^ which matures in eight 

 to ten weeks from planting. Early Rose is 

 everywhere a favorite, as is Early Ohio. 

 Rural New-Yorker is a standard late variety. 

 Burbank's Seedling is excellent as an inter- 

 mediate sort. All the varieties named are 

 of superior flavor, very productive, and sure 

 to give complete satisfaction. 



Radish 



This most toothsome vegetable should be 

 sown early, either in the hotbed or the open 

 ground. If you have a light, warm soil and 

 a location that is fully exposed to the sun 

 you can raise almost as fine radishes outside 

 of the hotbed as in it, though of course not 

 as early in the season. A crop will develop 

 in five or six weeks from sowing. Plant at 

 intervals of two or three weeks for a suc- 

 cession. Cardinal Globe is the standard 

 early variety. Crimson Giant is a little later. 

 Both have that crisp, tender, and juicy qual- 

 ity which makes the radish so universal a 

 favorite. Icicle is a long-growing white vari- 

 ety, very crisp and brittle. This has the merit
