RADISH 
Soil should be light, quick and rich to 
insure rapid growth. Slow growth makes 
the flavor too strong. Sow as early as 
ground can be worked, as radishes are 
very hardy. Make successive sowings up 
to hot weather. When in the third leaf, 
thin to give roots plenty of room. Pull 
promptly when mature. The secret of 
crisp, delicious radishes is quick growth, 
prompt picking.
