Mr. A. Hamman, writing to the Florida Dispatch, says :

" In the State of New Jersey, my former home, I planted on moist soil, in banks 3 feet apart, 18 inches apart in the row. The average weight in eight years was two pounds each, the average price during the same time was 8 cents a pound, or $1,600 to the acre; but I must say we used from $350 to $400 worth of manure from a slaughter-house at $1.50 per ton to each acre. The plowing, planting, cultivating, trimming, etc., was worth $200 to $300, according to the season, leaving a profit of $900 to $1,150 per acre. I raised horse-radish alone, but it can be raised together with cabbage, beets or lettuce; if done in this way the roots are not as strong or thick as if they are when planted alone.
