CULTURE — This is a popular vegetable, and grown to a large extent. The ground for 

 radishes should be rich and mellow. The early small varieties can be sown broadcast among 

 other crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been transplanted. Early- 

 varieties are sown in this section the whole year, but during summer they require frequent 

 watering to make them grow quickly. The Golden Globe, White Summer Turnip and White 

 Strasburg are best for planting during the summer months.
