RADISH. 
(Raphanus sativus.) French, Radis, Rave, Petit Rave, 
For the earliest crops it is advisable to make a semi-hotbed about two feet deep with half-rotten stable manure, on 
spread four inches of fine earth and then cover with old frames. 
Cover with mats during frost. 
Sowings made in this way in December, January, and 
February, will supply an abundance of beautiful 
Kxadishes in early spring. To follow the outdoor crops 
frame culture will again be necessary in autumn. 
Outdoor Culture. The first sowing outdoors 
should be made on a warm dry border. In some 
gardens it will be possible to commence in February, 
but the beds will require protection in the event of late 
frosts. Successive sowings should be made from March 
to September in the coolest place that can be found for 
them. Whether sown in beds or drills, early thinning 
is of great importance, no matter how wasteful the pro- 
cess may seem, for wherever the plants are crowded 
they will make large useless tops and small worthless 
roots. 
Winter Radishes. These large-growing kinds 
are much prized in winter in the preparation of salads. 
Seed may be sown in the open from June to August, 
in drills nine inches apart, and thinned to six inches in 
the rows. The roots may be left in the ground and 
dug as required, or taken up and stored in sand. SUTTON
