Easy to grow and fast growing makes it ideal for children to grow.  Bright scarlet red top, white tip 1"-1 1/2" globes, firm, mild flesh grows large but not pithy, holds well and can stand cold.  Excellent as a salad vegetable, eaten plain or as a garnish.  Sow in Spring and or Fall.  Bred for upland and sandy soils.  As with all root crops thinning is most important.  Harvest: When roots are 1/2"-1" in diameter, overgrown roots become pithy and stringy.  Great source of Vitamin C
