 From very early April to the middle of June, sow early round, olive- 

 shaped, early long, and summer Radishes. Make two or more sowings 

 in the rotation as suggested. Then omit until August, when winter 

 Radishes should be sown. Sow in rows inch deep and 12 to 16 

 inches apart and thin plants to stand from 2 to 3 inches apart for the 

 smaller globe and summer varieties and 4 to 6 inches apart for the 

 larger winter Radishes.
