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 
sowmgs 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 be- 
fore 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 grow- 
ing. Sow seed thin enough so they do not need to be thiimed 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.
