Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soil, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick and tender growth. Sow for very early use in hot-beds during the winter and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, in well-manured, deeply- dug, and finely raked soil; if not well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough ; sow in drills 10 inches apart, and thin to 2 inches in the rows.
