RADISH 
For an early supply, sow in a hotbed in February, care being taken to give abundant ventilation to prevent 
running to leaves. For open air culture and succession, sow from middle of March until September at inter- 
vals of a week or ten days. The growth must be rapid to insure crispness, succulence, and mildness of flavor. 
A fine dry, sandy loam, enriched and made light wit h well-rotted manure, is best adapted for the purpose, 
all heavy soils producing directly the opposite results from those desired. 
One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 9 or 10 lbs., per acre.
