March until September, at intervals of two or three weeks. For an early supply they may be sown in a hotbed in 
February. For winter radishes, sow the seed about beginning of July, and keep the roots during winter in a cool 
cellar, covered with earth. They should be placed in cold water an hour or so before using. One ounce of seed will
