CULTURE. — Radishes thrive best in a sandy loamy soil, and to havt a continuous supply for the table sow as 

 early in the spring as possible and at intervals of ten days thereafter. Where the summers are very hot, sow until 

 the fifteenth of May and then omit until A ugust. Then make three sowings at intervals 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 fit for the table in 25 to 10 days from sowing in the open ground. 

 For extra early crop sow seed in hot bed in February. One oz. for each 100 ft. of row.
