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 
- hotbeds during the win- 
| ter and early spring, or 
later on in_ sheltered 
borders in well—ma— 
nured, deeply—dug and 
finely—raked _ soil. If 
not well stimulated into 
a vapid 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 8 weeks until Sep-— 
tember for a succession. 
Sow winter varieties in 
July and August. Like 
the turnips, they make 
4 the best growth in the 
autumn, and must be 
taken out before severe 
} frost and stored away 
in a cool cellar in sand 
A or in a pit where they 
4 will keep tender and 
-4 crisp all the winter. 
# Before using, put in 
cold water, which adds 
to their freshness. 
Scarlet Globe Radish 
Extra Early Round Varieties 
79. Bolgiano’s No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish. 
(“Best in Garden” Variety.) (25 days.) Is the very best 
in every way. It is handsome in form and color, beauti- 
ful oval and rich scarlet. The amount of its foliage is 
small, compared with other varieties, and small for the 
size of the radish. The peculiar merit of this variety asa 
forcing radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for 
forcing 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.
