(30 days) Open-pollinated. Also known as Lady Finger, an heirloom listed by Fearing Burr as White Naples, White Italian and White Transparent. Firm tender all-white roots for the home garden will grow down 4–6" in all but the heaviest soils. Also used for bunching by commercial growers. Mild if harvested when young and slender, and remains in good eating condition longer than most other summer radishes. Juicy and somewhat spicy. ②

Radishes
Days to maturity are from date of seeding
Culture: Summer radishes may be sown almost as soon as the ground can be worked. Minimum germination soil temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. They emerge rapidly and grow quickly. Sow 1–2" apart, and thin to at least 2" for attractive uniform roots. Use row cover (p. 144) to protect from flea beetles. They develop more pungency in dry heat than in cool moist weather. Ready for harvest at about the size of a quarter and will rapidly get woody if allowed to grow much larger.
Disease: FY: Fusarium Yellows
Note: We cannot ship packets greater than ½ oz. (14 grams) of radishes into the Willamette Valley. The State of Oregon prohibits shipping any commercial quantity of untreated Brassica, Raphanus or Sinapis due to quarantine
