HOW TO GROW RADISHES.— For good, tender, well-shaped 
Radishes, you must have good, rich, deep, well-prepared soil. They can- 
not do well in hard, "clayey" soil. Sow the seed early and make other 
sowings every two weeks. This gives you fresh tender Radishes all season. 
If too large a sowing is made at one time, they may get tough or pithy 
before all can be used. Sow the seed in rows rather than broadcasting it, 
for when sown in rows they may be kept clean of weeds. Rows may be 
made 4 or 6 or 12 inches apart, depending on the Quantity you are growing. 
Sow seed thin enough so they do not need to be thinned out. Sow seed 
of winter Radishes in July and August; then take them up before freezing 
and store in pits or cover with sand in the cellar, and they will keep finely 
all winter. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 10 pounds to the acre.
