RADISH 
Culture—Originating in South Asia, the radish represents one of the oldest vegetables under 
cultivation. For early spring sow in February in hot-beds, scattering 100 seeds to the square 
foot and covering lightly 4% inch. For open planting sow seed in late April, drilling rows 10 inches 
apart and later thinning to 1 to 2 inches apart. Radish does best in light, rich, moist soil. One 
ounce to 100 feet of drill, 15 pounds to the acre.

“It were useless to attempt to detail all the events which marked the career of this famous 
sportsman. He was the terror of the foxes and rabbits for ten miles around. Many instances 
I might relate to illustrate the degree of skill to which he attained, but let one suffice. 
It is said that on one occasion, while returning home from hunting he met three foxe 
advancing towards him “‘all in a row.’’ As his gun was not loaded he seized a stone, and 
directed it as well as he was able, in a straight line towards their heads. Wonderful to tell 
he brought them all down. He gazed a moment in amazement. He had struck the first 
in the nose, the second in the hip and the third on the forehead—all with the same stone. 
The first was not quite dead, the second was badly lamed but the third showed no signs 
of life whatsoever. While chasing the second the first recovered and scampered away. 
Had he sprung on them the moment he saw them fall he might have secured the three.”
