CULTURE OF RADISH.— Radishes thrive beet iu ■ light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick 

 I growth. Sow for Tery early use in hot beds during the winter aud early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, in well-manured 

 deeply-dug, and finely-raked sod. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth they become fibrous and tough. Sow in drills 10 inches apart, and 

 thin to J inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. Sow winter varieties in July and August. 

 like the turnip, they make the best growth iu autumn, aud must be taken out before severe frost and stored away in a cool cellar in sand, or a 

 pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. Before usiug, put in cold water, which adds to their freshness. 



Boliviano's No. '1 Soar- 

 let Globe Radish. -Is the 

 best in every way. It is hand- 

 some in form and color, a 

 beautiful oval and rich scarlet. 

 The amount of its foliage is 

 small compared with other 

 varieties, and small for the size 

 of the radish. The peculiar 

 merit of this variety as a forc- 

 ing radish is that it will bear 

 the heat requisite for forcing 

 without becoming pithy or 

 spongy. The flesh is tender, 

 juicy and mild. It is equally 

 as good for open garden cul- 

 ture as for forcing, and there- 

 fore it commends itself 

 equally to the amateur and 

 market gardener. Packet, 5 

 cents: ounce, 10 cents; { 

 pound, 15 cents : pound. 50 

 cents.
