HASKELL IMPLEMENT AND SEED 
LEWISTON MAINE 
SPINACH (Continued) 
This is a very important crop in our market gardens, 
and is one of the most easily managed of all vegeta¬ 
bles, requiring but little culture, and may be had fit 
for use the entire season. The main crop is sown in 
September. It is sometimes covered up in exposed 
places with straw or salt hay during winter, which 
prevents it from being cut with frost; but in sheltered 
fields there is no necessity for covering. For summer 
use it may be sown at intervals of two or three weeks 
from April to August. Spinach is best developed and 
most tender when grown in rich soil.

RADISH 
German,—Rettig, Rabies Spanish,—Rabano 
French,—Radis, Rave, Petite Rave 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill 
Culture. The soil for Radishes should be very 
rich, light and mellow, well broken by digging, 
as their tender and mild qualities depend very 
much upon their rapid growth. For very early 
use sow in hotbeds in February and March and 
in the open air as soon as the ground can be 
worked, at intervals of ten or twelve days for a 
succession as long as they may be wanted. The 
winter varieties should be sown in August, lifted 
before severe frost, and stored in the cellar.
