HORSE-RADISH. 
Sets planted in May, small end down, with 
the top one inch below the surface, in rich, 
well-cultivated soil, will form radish of large 
size in one season's growth. Before planting,

so as to prevent decay from water resting 
on the top. The large roots will be ready 
to pull in October, and from these large roots 
a supply of sets can be cut off for the next 
spring's planting. It is customary to gather 
the crop of roots in October and keep them 
IP trenches, ready to market during the 
winter. Small roots, 6 for Ihc, 12 for 25c.t
