  FRENCH BREAKFAST

  A reliable old favourite! French Breakfast 3 is a fast cropping variety, producing cylindrical red radishes, tipped with white. The roots are crisp and have a mild flavour, perfect for adding to summer salads. Sow regularly for a tasty supply of fresh picked radishes all summer long.

• 

  SENIOR

  A very late, vigorous maincrop, but it will stay in good condition in the garden through until the following May. The long, cylindrical roots tolerate powdery mildew and alternaria.

• 

  NORWICH

  This 'second early' Nantes-type hybrid is simply delicious! The smooth, cylindrical roots, up to 8in in length, have an excellent colour and very little core. Strong top growth makes lifting the roots easy, and the plants are remarkable for their health and vigour.

  JAGUAR

  British-bred and most reliable in UK conditions, Jaguar is an excellent variety with which to make successional sowings to secure a long-lasting supply of delicious peas. Its pods, which are produced in pairs, each hold up to nine peas. The plants are resistant to several common diseases, ensuring they remain healthy throughout their life.
