The radish is cultivated for its root, which should be eaten when young and ^^Vj^ 
tender, as in maturing it becomes strong, tough and pithy. It should be so-wnfor^'^ 
early 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, wann soil, as the quality 
depends largely on its rapid growth. Sow in rows a foot apart, and thin to two inches I 
in the row by using the largest ones as soon as of sufficient size for the table. Keep free 
from weeds and well watered. In the heat of summer select a cool shady place.
