HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
RADISHES— HOW TO ENJOY THEM THE YEAR 
AROUND 
HOSE who are very fond of radishes wdl appreciate 
the following plan, which, if put to a test, will pro- 
vide crisp roots from spring until spring. 
Middle of April, sow fifteen-foot rows, of each Rapid 
Red , Scarlet Turnip White Tip, French Breakfast, and White 
Icicle. Repeat this planting by May ist, and follow with 
a row each of Icicle, Long Scarlet Short Top, and Lady 
Finger by May 15th. 
During the latter part of May, sow Icicle, Chartier, and 
Lady Finger, following this during June by repeated sow- 
ings of the last two as well as White Delicious. Through- 
out July sow California Mammoth Winter or China Rose 
and either Round, or Long Black Spanish for fall and winter 
use. (See illustration of sorts, from left to right, Long 
Black Spanish, California Mammoth, and China Rose.) 
All the extra early sorts lend themselves splendidly to 
intensive cultivation, since crops of them may be grown 
between the rows of later maturing vegetables like onions,) 
tomatoes, beets, etc.
