DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS. 



RADISH. 



Rettig, oder Radieschen, Ger. A'luiis, R^ive Petitt et tongue, Fr. 

 Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick and lender growth. 

 Sow for very early use in hot-beds during the winter and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, 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 ]0 inches apart, 

 and thin to 2 inches in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a successio'.i. 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 a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter ; before using put in cold water, which adds to 

 their freshness
