Radis, Fr. 1 oz. to 100 ft. drill; 9 or 10 lbs. per acre in drills. The growth must he rapid to insure those qualities upon which the Radish de- pends for excellence, viz.: crispness, succulence and mildness of flavor. A fine, dry, sandy loam, enriched and made light with well-rotted manure and a liberal dressing of salt is best adapted for the purpose, all heavy soils producing directly the oppo- site results from those desired. Culture.—For early crops, prepare gentle hot-beds in February, covering with loam to a depth of 8 inches for the long-rooted and of 4'inches for the turnip-rooted varieties. Select the early sorts and sow immediately in drills 6 inches apart and % inch deep, thinning to 2 inches—watering sparingly—allowing free ventilation to prevent running to leaves, and in severe weather protecting the sashes with 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 invariably when young and brittle. For succession, sow every 10 to 15 days. The late winter crop 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 ari hour or so before using. JtmU S
