Radishes may be grown in hotbeds any time during the winter. Sow in garden early in 
spring in drills 15 inches apart; cover i^-inch deep; thin out plants to 1 or 2 inches apart if 
they come up too thick. For a succession, sow every two weeks until August or September. 
Winter varieties should be sown in July. 
1 oz. of seed will sow 100 ft. of drill 10 lbs. per acre. A rich light soil is best for radishes. 
MARKET GARDENERS find radishes a very profitable crop. 
STOP VERMIN sown with the seed will prevent worms from eating the roots. See price
