Early or Forcing and Main Crop Radishes. 



RADISH. 



Otetttg.) 



O be crisp and tender, Radishes must grow quickly: whenever growth is 

 checked by drouth or cold weather, they become tough and pithy. 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 should be sown in midsummer. Sum- 

 mer varieties are best adapted for general crop. An ounce of seed 

 will sow about 75 feet of drill.
