EARLY and FORCING RADISHES. 



Radish. 



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

 whenever 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 hotbeds in rows 5 or 6 inches apart, and thin 

 the plants as the ground becomes warm. Seed of winter varieties 

 fSFl should be sown in midsummer. Summer varieties are best 

 adapted for general crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 

 100 feet of drill.

II!^"As a rule Radishes are planted too 

 sparingly in American gardens. The French 

 appreciate them better, and use them as an 

 appetizing relish three times a day. Custo- 

 mers who will take our advice and plant this 

 year several early and several summer varie- 

 ties, we think will hardly be willing again 

 to do without a plentiful supply.
