French — Radis. DaslictiAe Spanish — Rabano. 
-German— Rettig.KaUldllCS. 
The radish is cultivated for its root, which 
should be eaten when young and tender, as in 
maturing it becomes strong, tough and pithy. It should be sown for ear-^' 
ly use as soon as the ground can be well prepared, and for succession, at 
intervals of two or three weeks throughout the season, in rich, loose, 
warm soil, as the quality depends largely on its rapid growth. Sow in rows 
a foot apart, and thin to two inches in the row by using the largest ones as 
soon as of sufficient size for the table. Keep free from weeds and well wa- 
tered. In the heat of summer select a cool, shady place.
