Radish. 
DANIEL-8' LONG SCARLET. 
Cultivation. — Grown under favourable conditions, Radishes are 
ready for use in a very short time from the seed being sown, and when 
young, crisp, and juicy, are highly popular for galading purposes. For 
earliest use, a sowing may be made under glass amongst Potatoes or 
Asparagus that is being forced, or a few may be sown in a frame on a 
slight bottom-heat made with fermenting materials. The seeds germinate 
freely, and air should be admitted on all favourable occasions, a tempera- 
ture of 50° being sufficient in the frame. For later sowings, say in 
February or March out-of-doors, a deeply dug light and rich soil, and a 
warm sheltered position are the most favourable. Sow the seeds broadcast, 
and cover the beds in severe weather, or on frosty nights, with a slight 
covering of straw, or with mats laid over bended sticks, to be removed 
during the day, or when the air is sufficiently mild. From March onwards 
to the end of September, small successive sowings at intervals of about 
a fortnight will ensure a succession of nico crisp Radishes, care must 
however be taken to give liberal waterings in dry weather. The China 
Rose and Black Spanish varieties, for Winter use, should bo sown in July 
aud August in shallow drills, six or eight inches apart, and the plants 
thinned out to four or live inches apart in the drill.
