(Raphanus sativus)
Philadelphia White Box- The name gives away the provenance of this one, white refers to the color, and box refers to the fact that this little mild white radish used to be forced in cold frames as early as 1890. Great as a spring or fall radish, I have grow this one in frames and in open ground with great ease.
the fruit is 2-2.5" full in flavor, but mild on bit. Sow right after last frost.
