FORCING VEGETABLES 199
Radishes.—May be obtained for use in a very short time by sowing broadcast in a frame used for carrots, potatoes or lettuces. Cover the seeds lightly. French Breakfast is a good variety.
Rhubarb.—This is really better forced in the open ground by setting boxes over it. It may be treated precisely like seakale for indoor culture. Roots should be taken up from the open ground (and, if possible, be exposed to frost) and be put in a deep frame, box or pot, or beneath the greenhouse staging, with some soil worked round the roots. Some means must be taken to keep them dark. The seakale roots will be of little use after forcing, but the rhubarb may be planted. out but not forced again for two ycars. If several seakale crowns are put into a g-inch pot another pot may be inverted over them. A succession may be kept up until it is available outside.
