CULTURE — Radishes thrive best in a sandy, loamy soil, and to 

 have a continuous supply for the table sow as early in the spring 

 as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the sum- 

 mers are very hot, soiv until the fifteenth of May and then omit until 

 A ugust. Then moke three sowings at intervals during this month. 



RADISH 



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 to 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 ronv.

 oval-shaped, and has very small tops.

 that it remains solid and fit for table use 

 for a long time.
