CULTURE — One of the earliest delicacies to reach our table in the spring and one that may be enjoyed all season by a judicious 

 selection of varieties suitable for different seasons. In soil rich in humus, the little early round and olive-shaped sorts will be ready for 

 use in from 3 to 4 weeks. Earliest sowings may be mad.e as soon as frost is out of the ground. After May 1st, sow long varieties like 

 White Icicle or Long Scarlet Short Top. After June 1st, select summer varieties like Long White Vienna, or White Delicacy, and around 

 July 1st, sow the late but also large winter radishes for a fall and winter supply. All radishes, to do their best, should be thinned out to 

 stand 2 to 6 inches apart in the row, the largest distance given applying to the large growing winter varieties.
