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, sow until the fifteenth of May and then omit until 

 August. Then make three sowings at intervals during this month.
