Radish. 



-^WINTBR RA^DISH^ 



Winter Radishes are not appreciated and grown by Americans as much as their merit warrants. They are easily grown, 

 have few insect enemies and can be easily preserved through the winter, and there is no vegetable which furnishes a more 

 acceptable relish. While quick growth is not so essential for thes9 as for the earlier sorts, they do best on a rich soil which 

 has been made as fine and friable as possible. Sow late in spring or in early summer in rows 

 eighteen inches apart and thin the plants to four to eight to the foot. They may be pulled as 

 wanted through the fall, and on the approach of severe freezing weather should be harvested, part 

 packed in damp sand and stored in a cool cellar or other easily accessible, cool place for winter use, 

 and the balance buried in the ground as one would bury potatoes for spring use.
