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.

SPINACH 



German, Spinat French. Espinard Spanish, Espinaca 

 One ounce for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds in drills 

 for an acre. 



CULTURE. — This is a very important crop in our market 

 gardens, and is one of the most easily managed of all vege- 

 tables, requiring but little culture, and may be had fit for use 

 the entire season. The main crop is sown in September. It is 

 sometimes covered up in exposed places with straw or salt 

 hay during winter, which prevents it from being cut by frost; 

 but in sheltered fields there is no necessity for covering. For 

 summer use it may be sown at intervals of two or three weeks 

 from April to August. Si inach is best developed and most 

 tender and succulent when grown in rich soil.
