Crisp Radishes 



To be crisp and tender, Radishes must grow quickly; whenever growth is checked by drought 

 or cold weather, they become tough and pithy. Rich, light, sandy soil suits them best. For the 

 forcing crop, sow seeds in hotbeds in rows 5 to 6 inches apart and thin the plants as the ground 

 becomes warm. Seed of winter varieties should be sown in midsummer. Summer varieties are 

 best adapted for general crop. An ounce of seed will sow about 75 feet of drill.
