CULTURE—Quick growth is the secret of success. A light, rich soil 
is required. Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked, and every two weeks thereafter throughout the season for 
succession. Sow round and globe varieties for first crop as they grow 
faster than the long types and soon turn pithy, so must be harvested 
promptly. Long types grow more slowly and endure the heat better. 
Wormy radishes can be controlled by spraying with Carco. By prac¬ 
ticing crop rotation, and changing the planting site each year, serious 
soil infestation is overcome. 
We recommend French Breakfast for the 
home garden. It is early, attractive in color 
and has crisp, tender flesh.
