A fine, dry, sandy loam, em'iched and made light with well-rotted manure and a liberal dressing of salt is best adapted to the pui'pose, all heavy soils producing directly the opposite results from those desired. Culture.—For early crops, prepare gentle hot-beds in February, cov- ering with loam to a depth of 8 inches for the long-rooted and of 4 inches for the tm'nip-rooted varieties. Select the early soi'ts and sow immediately in drills 6 inches apart and Yz inch deej), thinning to 2 inches—watering sparingly—allowing free ventilation to prevent ninning to leaves, and in severe weather protecting the sashes wath matting or carpeting at night. For open air culture of the early varieties, sow early as the ground is workable, in drills one foot apart, thinning to 2 or 3 inches. Use invaria- bly when young and brittle. For succession, sow every iO to 15 days. The late winter crops may be planted from middle of July to middle of August; thinning 4 to 6 inches apart, and, in dry weather, watering often and copiously. Harvest before frost and pack in earth in a dry cellar, The roots should be plunged in cold water for an hour or so before using. Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tip. (Rosy Gem.) With Chicago gardeners, this is by far the most popular early Radish, or for planting in succession. Tops and roots both small, skin bright scarlet, shaded to white at the tip; flesh white, mild and crisp. An ornamental variety of quick growth, desirable for forcing.
