the top one inch below the surface, in rich, 
well-cultivated soil, will form radish of large

on the top. The large roots will be ready 
to pull in October, and from these large roots

spring's planting. It is customary to gather 
tlie crot) of roots in October and keep them 
in trenches, ready to market during the
