Comet Radish Seeds (25 days)

A very popular market radish in the 1950's, the Comet radish has a long history, including an All American Selections Win in 1936.

Comet radish has a ruby red skin and crisp snow white flesh, with a globed and almost perfectly round shape, making it a popular super market variety for years. 

Comet radish is early at 25 days and many enjoy its crunchy flesh earlier at only 3/4" to 1" in diameter.  One of the few radishes that can be grown in hot weather and still develop to size. 

1942 Burpee Seed Catalog says about comet radish seeds...."Bred to meet the increasing demand for an early radish that has the same qualities as Vick's Scarlet Globe, but with a rounded instead of an olive-shaped root.  Comet fille the bill; the roots are globe to olive-shaped, small tap-roots, bright scarlet and for eating and keeping qualities it is surpassed by none; it will remain crisp and solid for a long time."
