CULTURE 
Radishes thrive best in light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring 
out their mild qualities they must make quick and tender 
growth. Sow for very early use in hotbeds during the winter 
and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders in well- 
manured, deeply-dug and finely-raked soil. If not well stimu¬ 
lated. into a rapid growth they become fibrous and tough. 
Sow in drills 10 inches apart and thin to 2 inches in the rows. 
Sow at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks until September for a suc¬ 
cession. Sow winter varieties in July and August. Like the 
turnips, they make the best growth in the autumn, and must 
be taken out before severe frost and stored away in a cool 
cellar in sand or in a pit where they will keep tender and 
crisp all the winter. Before using, put in cold water, which 
add 3 to their freshness. 
Scarlet Globe Radish 
Extra Early Round Varieties 
79. Bolgiano’s No. 2 Scarlet Globe Radish. 
(“Best in Garden” Variety.) (25 days.) See illustra¬ 
tion above.) Is the very best in every way. It is 
handsome in form and color, beautiful oval and rich 
scarlet. The amount of its foliage is small, com¬ 
pared with other varieties, and small for the size of the 
radish. The peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing 
radish is that it will bear the heat requisite for forc¬ 
ing without becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is 
tender, juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open 
garden as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself 
equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt.

postpaid.
