CULTURE — Radishes thrive best in a sandy, loamy soil, and lo have a continuous supply for the table sow as early in the spring 

 as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the summers are very hot, sow until the fifteenth of May and then omit 

 until August. Then make three sowings at intervals during this month. Radishes are divided into three classes — spring, summer 



and winter kinds, and all kinds should be used in a garden. Radishes are fit for the table in 25 lo 40 days from sowing in the open ground. For extra 



early crop sow seed in hot bed in February. One ounce for each 100 ft. of row.
