RADISH. 



Get. Hettig. FT.Hadis. 

 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 the 

 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 destroying thean 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 hour before using. Every family 

 should raise a supply of winter radishes.
