Crimson Giant Radish
A round radish of exceptionally large size for so early a variety. The roots are nearly globe-shaped of beautiful crimson-carmine color and most excellent quality, often growing 1 ¾ inches in diameter before becoming pithy. It is a desirable variety for general outdoor planting and also suitable for forcing where a very large, round radish is wanted. It remains in condition a remarkably long time for so early a radish.
