COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



RADISH 



Ger. Rettig. Yx. Radis. 

 One ounce n'ill sow 100 feet of drill. 

 The radi^ih is very hard}', and can be sown as early 

 as the ground will admit. To be crisp and tender 

 they should make a quick growth. The soil should 

 be very rich and light; sow the seeds in drills one 

 foot apart and cover half an incli deep; thin while 

 small from two to three inches apart; hoe often; for 

 a succession sow at interval^ of two weeks. To keep 

 the beetle from destroying them sprinkle with ashes 

 or air-slacked lime. The winter varieties .should be 

 sown in August; they must be taken up before se- 

 vere fio,5ts and stored in a cool cellar and covered 

 with earth. Put them in cold water an hour before 

 using. Every family should raise a supply of win- 

 ter radish :s.
