ss6 Crimson Giant Globe— Big, round radishes 
29 days. Differs from most others as the roots attain a large size without becoming 
hollow or pithy. The shape is a perfect globe, 2 in. in depth, 1% in. in diameter, with 
thin, tender skin of deep crimson and solid white flesh which is firm, crisp and mild 
in flavor. It is a very popular variety, of large size, finest quality and remains edible 
for a long time. Sow seed thinly to permit full development of the roots, and for the 
biggest radishes see that the soil is moderately moist, fertile and deeply prepared. € 
Crimson Giant should be thinned to a wider spacing than smaller varieties; we suggest 
leaving at least 2 in. between plants in the row for full development of large roots.
