Heirloom Organic French Dressing Radish Seeds

Heirloom Organic French Dressing Radish Seeds (30)

An heirloom introduced in 1879, French Breakfast was the popular market radish of Paris, now more a type than a single variety. Always red tipped with white, the shape can vary. On the Web site of the French seed company Graines Baumaux there are a dozen small radishes with this coloration, ranging from round to olive-shaped to, most typically, cylindrical with a blunt tip. Most American seed catalogues sell some form of French Breakfast. I favor the variety D’Avignon, sold by High Mowing

Radish, French Dressing variety is ideal for slicing. Top off your salad with this tasty French-type radish. Fruits are 2 in. long by 3/4 in. wide. Sow in well-worked soil after danger of frost in early spring, again in late summer for fall crop.
