The Best in Cultivation 



Among the new varieties introduced in recent years there are some sorts that 

 will produce Radishes more quickly than the standard sorts, with brighter color 

 ing, making them more attractive when ready for market or table use. Radishes 

 must be grown quickly in rich, loose soil and gathered before reaching full size, 

 in order to secure them with crisp, tender flesh. If allowed to reach full size 

 before pulling they will become soft and pithy, especially in the small early 

 varieties. In order to have a succession of fresh and tender Radishes planting 

 should be made at frequent intervals. Sow the seed thinly in drills when the 

 foliage is starting on the trees, with successive plantings one week apart.
