RADISH. 
Rabano — Radieschen — Radis. 
The Radish will succeed well in any good garden soil, not over moist or too heavy. A sandy loai 
enriched by well-rotted manure is best. For early and 
late crops a warm, sheltered situation should be chosen; 
whilst for those sown in the heat of summer a rather 
shady spot must be selected. For a succession, sow 
every two w f eeks. The ground where the sowing is to be 
made should be deeply dug and raked fine. The seed is 
generally sown thinly broadcast, in beds from 4 to 5 feet 
wide, with 1 foot alleys between, the soil from the latter 
being used to cover the seeds, but only slightly. The 
French Breakfast. surface is then raked smooth, and in light soils pressed Scarlet Turnip.
