VEGETABLE SEEDS 31 
RADISH 
Radishes must make a rapid growth to be crisp and tender. For early use seed should be sown in the 
hotbed, in drills four or five inches apart and half an inch deep. For an early crop in the open ground, 
select a sandy soil and a warm south border, under the shelter of a fence or building, if possible. 'The 
vick's early scarlet globe 
\\ inter Radish should be sown about the middle of summer, and, like the Turnip, makes its best growth 
in the autumn. Pitted out of doors, or buried in earth in a cool cellar, it will keep crisp all winter.
