All tlie Grood Radielies. 



(SRettig.) 



N ORDER to be crisp and tender, Radish roots must grow quickly; when- 

 ever growth is checked by drouth or cold weather they become tough 

 and pithy. A rich, light, sandy soil suits them best. For the forcing 

 crop, sow seed in hot-beds in rows 5 or 6 inches apart, and thin the 

 plants as the ground becomes warm. Seed of winter varieties 

 sliould be sown in midsummer. Summer varieties are best 

 idapted for general crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 100 

 feet of drill. ~
