RADISHES 
Cardinal or Scarlet Globe Radishes 
Sow as soon as the ground is dry in the spring, in rows 8 to 12 inches apart, 
and ^mch deep, every week to ten days for a succession up to the middle 
of June, after which they are but little used unless a cool northern spot can 
be had, where the ground is shaded during a part of the day. They should 
be sown in light, rich soil, as a crisp Radish cannot be produced in heavy 
soils. Sow also in early fall for late crops and winter use. Radishes should be 
eaten when quite small; it is a mistake to let them grow too long and too 
large. This applies particularly to the French Breakfast and small t.urnip- 
shaped sorts.
