Midseason or 
Summer Radishes 
The following varieties require more time to ma- 
ture than the spring radishes so that they are 
becoming ready to use when the others are gone. 
As they grow more slowly, they endure heat better 
and are valuable for summer use. Flesh is mildly 
pungent. We suggest a deep and thorough prepa- 
ration of the soil to obtain the best roots.
