holding weighed 5% pounds, was 19 inches

HOW TO GROW RADISHES. For good, tender, well- 
shaped Radishes, you must have good, rich, deep, well-prepared 
soil. They cannot do well in hard ‘‘clayey’’ soil. Sow the seed 
early and make other sowings every two weeks. This gives you 
fresh tender Radishes all season. If too large a sowing is made 
at one time, they may get tough or pithy before all can be used. 
Sow the seed in rows rather than broadcasting it, for when 
sown in rows they may be kept clean of weeds, and cultivated. 
Rows may be made 4 or 6 or 12 inches apart, depending on the 
quality you are growing. Sow seed thin enough so they do not 
need to be thinned out. Sow seed of winter Radishes in July 
and August; then take them up before freezing and store in 
pits or cover with sand in the cellar, and they will keep fine 
all winter. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long; 10 pound 
to the acre.
