Radishes thrive best in a light, rich, mellow soli, and to bring out their mild qualities they must make a quick and tender growth ; heavy or clavev soils not only delay their growth, but produce a much inferior crop in appearance and lavor. °Sow for very early "use in hot-beds during tlie winter and early spring, or later on in sheltered borders, in well-manured, deeply dug," and finely raked soil ; if :iot well stimulated into a rapid growth, they become fibrous and tough ; sow ill drills'lO inches apart, and thin to 2 inclies in the rows. Sow at intervals of two or three weeks until September for a succession. As soon as the first leaves appear, sprinkle with soot, wood-ashes or air-slacked lime, to save them from tlie little black. Cabbage and Turnip fly. Slug Sbot is a ijositive remedy for the black. Cabbage and Turnip fly, and can be confidently recommended for that jjurpose. The winter varieties should be sown in July and Au"ust; like the Turnii) they make the best growth in the autumn, and must be taken U]) before severe frost, and stored away in a cool cellar in sand, or a pit, where they will keep tender and crisp all winter; before using put in wld water, which adds to their CARDINAL GLOBE RADISH. This variety is by all means the very best forcing vari- ety, and should be sown largely by market gardeners and truckers. It is of globular shape and brilliant cardinal red color, with short top, and will stand a large amount of heat without becoming pithy; flesh tender, crisp, and in quality all that can be desired. We can safely recomraeud this so"rt. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., i lb. .lO cts., lb. $ Fireball. Oneofthefinest forcing Radishes)'etofFer- ed. Of rapid growth
