Radishes 
German—Rettig, Radies Spanish—Rabanos 
Italian—Ravenelli. 
The culture of radishes is so easy and the results so 
sure that they are probably found in more home gardens 
than any other vegetable. The varieties of radish differ 
so distinctly that the home gardener is able to obtain 
almost anything he prefers in the way of shape, color, 
size and season. 
The ground should be finely prepared, as free as possible 
from small stones and lumps. Plant seed about % inch 
deep in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and when up about an 
inch thin to 1 to 2 inches apart. Radishes are at their 
best when growth is quick and steady. A moderate tem¬ 
perature and constant moisture are favorable for best 
results. In order to keep a continuous supply of young, 
mild radishes successive plantings should be made.
