There are two classes of Radishes, those for spring and

and those for winter use, which are large and mature slowly,

best in a light rich soil. For a successive supply, sow from 
the middle of March until September, at intervals of two or 
three weeks. For an early supply, they may be sown on a mild 
hot-bed in February. The winter varieties may be sown from 
the latter part of July to middle of September.
