CULTURE 



Radishes thrive best 

 in light, rich, mellow 

 soil, and to bring out 

 their mild qualities 

 they must make quick 

 and tender growth. Sow 

 for very early use in 

 1 hotbeds during the win- 

 4 ter and early spring, or 

 later on in sheltered 

 borders in well-raa- 

 nured, deeply-dug and 

 finely-raked soil. If 

 not well stimulated into 

 a rapid growth they 

 become fibrous and 

 tough. Sow in drills 

 10 inches apart and thin 

 to 2 inches in the rows. 

 Sow at intervals of 2 

 or 3 weeks until Sep- 

 tember for a succession. 

 Sow winter varieties in 

 July and August. Like 

 the turnips, they make 

 the best growth in the 

 autumn, and must be 

 taken out before severe 

 frost and stored away 

 in a cool cellar in sand 

 or in a pit where they 

 will keep tender and 

 crisp all the winter. 

 Before using, put in 

 cold water, which adds 

 to their freshness. 



Extra Early Round Varieties 



79. Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish. 



("Best in Garden" Variety.) (25 days.) (Illustrated in 

 color on front cover.) Is the very best in every v^ay. 

 It is handsome in form and color, beautiful oval and 

 rich scarlet. The amount of its foliage is small, com- 

 pared with other varieties, and small for the size of the 

 radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing 

 radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for forc- 

 ing without becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is 

 tender, juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open 

 garden as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself 

 equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt.
