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. 1 oz. of seed will sow 100 ft. of drill ; 10 lb. will plant an acre.
