Early Scarlet Globe Radish Radishes will grow in al- 



.nost any kind of soil, the 

 best results, however, are obtained in a light loamy soil. For the 

 first crop sow as early in the spring as the ground can be pre- 

 pared, in rows 12 inches apart, thinning out so the roots do not 

 touch in the row. The early sorts as noted should be sown from 

 early spring up to the middle of May. The summer sorts should 

 then be sown, as they withstand better the hot summer weather. 

 During July and August the large late sorts should be sown for 

 fall and winter use.
