You Can Grow Tender Crispy Radishes Almost Anywhere 
Radish 
To succeed with the Radish, everything must be done which will promote 
steady, rapid growth. A light, rich, sandy soil is best, and for early Spring 
Radishes the seed should be sown in February in hotbeds, providing gentle 
heat. Sow in rows 6 inches apart, cover lightly; when plants are well up, 
thin to 1 or 2 inches apart in the rows. As soon as ground can be worked 
transplant out-of-doors in beds of finely prepared soil. Rows 8 to 10 
inches apart. For a later succession sow every 10 days or two weeks. 
Sow the seed for Winter varieties in July or August, take up before the first 
severe frost, pack in sand and store in a cool cellar. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet ol drill.
