tivate the same as melons and cu- 
cumbers, For winter use gather before 
frost (leave stem 3” to 4” long) and

RADISH 
Soil should be light, quick and rich

makes the flavor too strong, Sow as 
early as ground can be worked, as 
radishes are very hardy. Make suc- 
cessive sowings up to hot weather. 
When in the third leaf, thin to give 
roots plenty of room. Pull promptly

lictous radishes is quick growth, 
prompt picking.

oysters, 120 days.

Plant very early in spring—or start 
seed in fall (giving it protection by 3” 
of straw over the winter) and enjoy 
an early spring crop. Cut all spinach 
before hot weather as it doesn’t do 
well in extreme heat. Sow again in 
August or September for fall crop. 
Spinach should be gathered before the 
flower spike appears.

Old Gardener Says.... 
Growing good root crops is an art. In the 
big English shows, where vegetables out- 
rank flowers in eye appeal, well-grown 
parsnips, carrots and beets usually decide 
who wins. 
Good root crops can’t be grown in stiff 
clay that bakes hard in the summer. If 
clay is your problem, it will pay to give 
special attention to the section in which 
you intend to grow these vegetables, This 
is the place to use your well-rotted manure, 
compost or other organic matter (after the 
needs of your vine crops have been mei). 
You can use coal ashes too, but apply them 
in fall, so fall and winter rains can leach 
away the sulfur, If you can’t stick your 
index finger full length into the soil after 
you've added these modifiers, it’s too hard 
for good root crops. 
Another important point in growing good 
root crops is early thinning. If they are 
left to grow crowded too long, they will 
twist and turn, trying to get their share 
of what room there is. And every time a 
carrot twists, it grows hard fiber at the 
twist.
