RADISHES 
Everybody can and everybody wants to grow Radishes. Most 
any soil will do; if it is light and mellow so much the better. An 
extra-early crop can be grown in the hotbed from seed sown in 
February or early March. Start outdoors as soon as the ground 
can be put in shape and sow seed of any of the quick-growing 
round or olive-shaped sorts, not too thick, in drills a half inch 
deep and I to feet apart. Thin out the seedlings promptly 
to stand about an inch apart in the rows. Keep them growing 
fast by hoeing or cultivating every two or three days, otherwise 
they become pithy and bitter. After putting in seed for the first 
crop, make additional sowings every ten days to two weeks, but 
for the later crops, which will ripen in warm weather, use the long 
varieties. For late summer and fall use, sow the Summer and 
Winter Radishes which are larger and slower growing but will, 
unlike the early round Radishes, thrive in hot weather. The 
Summer Radishes may be sown any time up to August i. The 
big Winter Radishes should be sown late in June to attain full 
size before frost. 
One ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet 
of drill; 8 to 10 pounds will sow an acre
