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 broad-cast among other 

 crops, such as beets, peas, spinach, or where lettuce has been transplanted. E)arly 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 Stras- 

 burgh are best for planting during the summer months. The Half Long Scarlet French 

 is the only red kind raised for the New Orleans market, and all the other cities in the 

 >Unite4 States taken together do not use as many of that one varietv as New Orleans does
