CULTURE. — Sow late in May in the latitude of New York, in 

 very rich soil, cover the seed one incli. When grown alone the 

 hills should be eight feet apart each way. As soon as the seed-

plaster mixed with dry garden soil or aslies. This prevents llie ravages of striped beetle. 1 oz. for 30

CULTURE — Radishes thrive best in a sandy loamy soil, and to have a continuous 

 supply for the table saw as early in the spring as possible and at intervals of ten days 

 thereafter. Where the summers are very hot, sow until the fifteenth «/' May and then 

 omit until August. Then make three sowings at irdervals during this month. 



Radishes are divided into three classes, spring, summer, and winter kinds, and 

 all kinds should be used in a garden. Radishes are Jit for the table in 25 to 40 

 days from sowing in the open ground. 



For extra early crop sow seed in hoi bid in February. One oz. for each 100 ft 

 of row.

 son of the strong contrasting colors of the 

 root it makes a most attractive appearance. 

 The flesh is crisp, white and tender, and ex-

Early Crimson Giant 



722. This variety develops trrf> and often 6 inches 

 in circumference, weighing up to 1 ounce per root, 

 or about four times the weight of similar sorts; but 

 notwithstanding its immense size, does not get 

 hollow or pithy, but keeps in condition for a long 

 time for such an early variety. The flesh remains 

 sparkling white, solid, crisp and juicy and it is of 

 the mildest flavor. The root is almost globe- 

 shaped, and is very bright crimson in color. It is an 

 excellent variety for forcing and is also much 

 esteemed as an outdoor variety. (Sec engraving).
