An old-time, round red radish that is very early. Not as good as Early Scarlet Globe, but quite acceptable and reliable.

'Champion' did not give me a very impressive performance this year. It was my first time trying it, but it certainly was not as vigorous as the first times I grew Radish (Raphanus sativus 'Early Scarlet Globe') or Radish (Raphanus sativus 'French Breakfast'). I won't be trying it again next year. Not as insect-tolerant as some other varieties ('French Breakfast' is very insect-tolerant). Much more prone to bug damage.
