Cherry Belle
- A good smooth red-skinned bunching
radish making uniform balls 3/4"
across with firm white flesh.
Easter Egg
- These good-sized delicious
radishes do not become woody, hollow
or too hot. Nor do they bolt easily.
Kids and adults love this
fascinating blend which comes in
shades of pink, purple, red, violet
and white. Always our (Fedco Seeds)
most popular radish.
Hailstone
- Vaughan, in 1904, called it “the
quickest growing radish on record,”
and described it as round, smooth,
snowy-white with a short tender
taproot. Produces crisp juicy roots
1" in diameter that hold well.
Unusually small foliage allows for
close spacing.
French Breakfast
- Nance Shaw of East Fairfield, VT,
takes us to task for doubting anyone
actually eats these for breakfast.
French Breakfast radishes “ARE good
for breakfast with some Kerrygold
butter and salt.” A favorite in
Paris markets since before 1879. “A
medium-sized radish, olive-shaped,
small top, of quick growth, very
crisp and tender, of a beautiful
scarlet color, except near the tip,
which is pure white. A splendid
variety for the table, on account of
its excellent quality and its
beautiful color.” —From D.M. Ferry &
Co’s Descriptive Catalog, 1902.
Plum Purple
- A popular plum-colored round root.
Crisp white flesh has a good sweet
taste with only a little heat. Very
uniform, true to color, almost the
size of a ping-pong ball. One
customer who grows radishes under
row covers to avoid root-maggot
damage calls Plum Purple the radish
most tolerant to slightly shaded
row-cover conditions.
Zlata
- A new color in summer radishes!
These shimmery yellow medium-sized
beauties from Poland starred in our
MA trial. Crunchy and crispy white
interiors, spicy but not
overwhelming, good fresh and even
better braised. Did not bolt or
split and held quality even in all
the June rains. Perfect for
bunching.
White Icicle
- Also known as Lady Finger,
heirloom was listed by Fearing Burr
as White Naples, White Italian and
White Transparent. Firm tender
all-white roots for the home garden
will grow down 4–6" in all but the
heaviest soils. Mild if harvested
when young and slender, and remains
in good eating condition longer than
most other radishes. Starks in 1924
asserted that Icicle was the most
widely planted of all radishes and
“absolutely unsurpassed in quality. |
