| Very tender and mild flavor. This is a very fast growing variety, I am eating radishes on May 10 in Nebraska. I sowed succession plantings, very earliest came up before a 3 day cold spell with temps down to 17 F. Those were killed. The next planting was made just before it got cold, those I am eating now. The flavor is the best of any radish I have tried. Retain tender mild flavor even in hot weather. This is an outstanding variety! |

| Pretty, nice easy crop that made an excellent impression. I don't eat radishes, so don't know about the taste for sure, but people came back for them. |
