The Rural Voice, 1978-06, Page 34best for lawns that are meticulously maintained and cut low. However, the reel -type is not as versatile as the rotary lawn mowers and is usually more expensive initially and more costly to• maintain. The hand -operated reel -type mower is ideal for small lawns. It will give a good cut, save gas and provide exercise. The rotary lawn mower used by most homeowners cuts by the sickle -like impact of a whirling blade. This action bashes the grass off and causes the top of the blade to turn brown. Because of this, rotary lawn mowers are best used for grass control, rather than for lawn appearance. Whatever type of lawn mower you select, get a good quality machine to make mowing as pleasurable as possible. Radishes brighten summer meals The cool greens in a fresh summer salad come alive when the crisp texture, tangy flavor and vibrant color of radishes is added. These perky little vegetables are also great on their own, with a favorite dip, as a garnish for cold meats or salad plates, or as appetizers. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say that Ontario radishes generally are available from the end of May through the summer until frost. There are several shapes and varieties of radishes: round, oval, oblong and long or icicle shape, and a range of colors: red, white and black. The flavors vary from mild to strong or pungent. The most common and popular type of radish is the red glaurr or round variety. It usually is found on produce counters. The other varieties may be found in specialty fruit and vegetable stores or farmers' markets. When you come across any of these different types of radishes, why not buy some and add color and flavor variety to your summer meals. They'll add zip and crunch to the foods you serve. Look for radishes that are smooth, crisp and firm, not wilted, spongy, or cut or broken. Radishes may be bunched -tied together around the full length tops, or topped -tops removed, and packaged in plastic bags. Radishes keep better if their tops are removed. They should be placed in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. Use them within one week. The radish tops may be cooked and served like other greens. To prepare thoroughly and remaining tops. LEISURE WORLD radishes, wash them cut off roots and any /uncoait mall OPEN NIGHTLY 'TIL 9•SAT.
