EARLY, FORCING and MAIN CROP RADISHES. 



RADISH 



(Mettig.) 



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

 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 hotbeds 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. Summer varieties are best adapted for general 

 crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill.
