Sow in frames for early crops in December and January, and on a warm border in February, 
giving protection with litter during frosty weather, removing it every mild day. For successional 
crops sowings may be made every three weeks until the end of August. Black Spanish is used in 
winter, and should be sown in August. A rich light soil, not recently manured, suits Radishes 
best, and during hot diy weather give copious supplies of water, as rapidity of growth is requisite 
to ensure tender roots and mild flavour.

SALSAFY. 
SELECTED SEED ........ .... per oz. 0 9 
Choose ground which has not received manure for at least one year. Trench this ground 18 inches 
deep, place a goed thickness of well-decomposed nmnure at the bottom of the trench, slightly 
mixing it with the soil : cause pulvoi-isation by frequently forking over the sm'face. Sow early (say 
from the middle to the latter end of April), but let the temperature of the climate, locality, and 
state of the weather be a consideration, for a day too early under severe changes produces decrepid 
and deformed roots, from which state no cultivation afterwards will ijroduoo good crops. Sow in 
drills 15 inches apart, covering the seed with fine soil, which press down firmly, and thin out when 
the plants are strong enough to G inches apart. In all cases sow the seed in dry weather. The roots 
may be taken up and stored in November.
