RADISH — Continued 
The Cultivation of Radish. — Sow on a moderate hotbed in January, February, and March, also every ten days during 
the spring and summer in well-prepared places in the open. The Radish thrives best when quickly grown in a rich, deep, 
moist soil, kept well watered during the hot weather. Winter varieties should be planted about the middle of July; store 
the roots during the winter in a cool pit or cellar and cover them well with earth. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of 
drill; 10 pounds will plant an acre.
