Kadics/ieii, Rettig, Ger. Radis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. Rabana. : ?. 



One ounce of seed will sow lOO feet of drill. 



Culture. — Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a crop in 

 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared, and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot apart, and 

 sow just seed enough so they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer may be utilized for 

 planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing also. On greenhouse 

 bench or in frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in fuly and August. They grow best in 

 the cooler autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar, or in a pit where they will keep 

 tender and crisp all winter.
