Radis, Rave, Petite Rave, Fr. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill CULTURE»--^Sow early and often. In good, warm, fibrous loam, especially if quite sandy, summer Radishes will make a crop in 4 to 6 weeks from sowing. The soil should be well prepared and fertilizers may be used freely. Have the rows a foot apart, and sow just seed enough so that they will not require thinning. Any little spot that becomes available during summer may be utilized for planting Radishes. The short or turnip-rooted sorts are quickest and easiest to grow, and good for forcing also. On greenhouse bench or frames the rows need not be more than 4 inches apart. Sow winter Radishes in July and August, They grow best in the cooler Autumn weather. Take them up before severe freezing and store in sand in the cellar or in a pit. where they will keep tender and crisp all winter. New Perfection. (See Colored Plate and page 8.)

The Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a most brilliant car- dinal-red color. It will stand consider- able heat; therefore it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, being crisp and tender. It is by far the best variety for forcing, and also does well in open ground, thus making it an extremely valuable and desirable sort for planting in the home garden and for market gar- deners' use.
