The Garden
A contributor to au English'garden conteiapory says :- 1 believe the forcing white turnip-rooted radish to be the best early variety in cultivation, and superior, therefore, to the red form. It is of very quick growth, and only need to be very lightly thinned out in any place where the seed was sown extra thick. Bulbs form well even when not more than one inch apart, and quite a long succession can be had from part of a single light in a pit or frame. No fault can be found with the quality. The French Breakfast is two or three days later, and this is a really excellent radish. It forms but little top, bulb quickly, is of attractive appearance, and very tender. By way of variety, several other oliveshaped varieties are grown, and also the old Wood's Frame, the latter being particularly good for open-air culture. Several of the early radishes are very bright and attractive in appearance, and are wholesome enough if eaten in a young state.
