BUIST’S GARDEN GUIDE 
RADISH 
R ADISH should be sown in light, rich and finely pulverized soil, as their tenderness 
depends on the rapidity of their growth. Sow thinly as soon as the ground is dry in 
the spring in rows eight to twelve inches apart and thin out to prevent crowding. For a 
succession sow every ten days up to the middle of June. The quick maturing varieties may 
be sown between rows of Beets or Carrots. Winter Radishes may be sown in July or later 
and allowed to develop in the cool, moist fall weather. They may be stored like Turnips 
for winter use.
