RADISH. 
German. Slettig. French, Radis, i oz. to 100 ft. of drill. 
A light, rich soil, not recently manured, is best suited for Radishes. For early use, sow in 
a gentle hotbed in February, and in the open air as soon as the ground can be worked, contin- 
uing at intervals until September. Water freely during dry, hot weather, as rapidity of growth 
is necessary to insure tenderness and mild flavor. Sow in August and September for winter use.
