R ADIS II. 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet 
of drill. 
Radishes require a light, loamy soil, 
moderately fertile, which should be 
deeply dug and well pulverized. The 
situation should be warm and shelter¬ 
ed. For an early supply sow in Jan¬ 
uary or February in hot-beds, keeping 
well ventilated. In May they may be 
sowm out-of-doors. Successive sow¬ 
ings should be made every two weeks. 
Radishes to be crisp and tender should 
make a rapid growth.
