RADISHES 
An extra-early crop can be grown in the hotbed from seed 
sown in February or early IVIarch. 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 1 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 1. 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
