Cultivation. — The Radish is one of the most popular of all salads, and to be crisp and mild in flavour should be quickly grown. It requires a good 
rich soil and liberal supplies of water during hot dry weather. Care should be taken in making the sowings to ensure a continuous succession rather than 
a great quantity at one time. The earliest sowing (for which our new variety, “ Best of All,” is most suitable) should be made between the rows of early 
Potatoes or other vegetables grown in frames on the hot-bed. Be sure to admit plenty of air as they will not bear excessive heat. 
From February onwards sowings may bo made about every fortnight in a warm sheltered bed out of doors, making provision for covering the beds 
with mats or straw on cold nights. This covering must always be removed in the day-time. It is most important, however, that protection from birds bo 
made in the day-time, and fish netting is generally used for this purpose. In the middlo of Summer a north-cast border will bo found a most suitable 
position for Radishes. Sow the seed broadcast and evenly, so that they aro not too crowded. For Winter work the varieties “ Chinese Rose” and 
“Black Spanish ” arc the best; they should bo sown in Augurt and the plants thinned out about four inches apart.
