RADISH. (Rettig.) 



Eadishes, to do well, require a rich, mellow soil — new soil, or soil not long 

 in cultivation, is the best. They are divided into three classes— spring, sum- 

 mer and winter radishes. The former are used for forcing or the earliest 

 out-door crop. The second are adapted best for a general crop, and the 

 winter radishes for fall and winter use. and preserving like other root crops. 

 To be crisp and tender, they must make a rapid growth; whenever checked 

 in their growth by cold or dry weather, they will invariably be tough and 

 pithy. For forcing sow in hot-beds in rows five or sis inches apart, and 

 thin out when too close. For open air, sow when the ground has become 

 well warmed, in drills twelve to fifteen inches apart, or broadcast like turnips. 

 Strew with soot, fine ashes or tobacco dust if troubled with turnip fly. The 

 winter varieties should be sown about the middle of summer.
