Culturr of Radish. Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring 

 cut their raild qualities they must make quick and tender growth. Sow for very early use 

 in hotbeds during the winter and early spring, or later on. in sheltered border;, in well- 

 manured, deeply-dug and finely-raked soil. If not well stimulated into a rapid growth, 

 they become fibrous and tough. Sow in drills 10 inches apart and thin to 2 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 in autumn, 

 and must be taken out before severe frost and stored away in a cool cellar in sand or in a 

 pit where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. Before using, put in cold water, which 

 adds to their freshness. 



Bolgiano's No. - Scarlet Globe Radish. Is the very best in every 

 way. It is handsome in form and color, 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 

 forcing radish is that it will hear 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 as for forcing, and therefore it commends

 from time of sowing the seed, yet it will continue to grow without losing 

 its fine quality and remains in a tender condition longer than any other 

 summer sort. ' Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; }4 lb., 15c; Yz lb., 20c; lb., 40c.
