Firm and Crisp RADISHES 
To succeed with Radishes, everything must be done 
which will promote steady, rapid growth. A light, rich, 
sandy soil is best, and for early spring Radishes the seed 
should be sown in February in hotbeds, providing gentle 
heat. Sow in rows 6 inches apart, and cover lightly. When 
plants are well up, thin to 1 or 2 inches apart in the rows. 
As soon as ground can be worked, transplant out-of-doors 
in beds of finely prepared soil, in rows a foot apart. For a 
later succession sow every ten days or two weeks. Sow the 
seed for winter varieties in July or August; take up before 
the first severe frost, pack in sand, and store in a cool cellar. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill
