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 juit 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 inclies 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 teuder and crisp all winter. New Perfection. (See Colored Plate and page 10.)

Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $ Cardinal Qlobe. (See cut.) Those who like the crisp little red Radishes that come so early will be pleased with this variety. The Radishes grow globular in shape, and are of a most brilliant cardinal-red color. It will stand considerable heat; therefore, it is a quick forcer, and the quality is fine, being crisp and tender. It is by far the best variety for forc- ing, and also does well in open ground. Pkt
