When you say chinese radish do you mean Dai kon (Japanese) also known as Lo Bok in Chinese and Mooli in Hindu - they look like a big white parsnip or carrot.

I was given a packet of Dai Kon radish from Japan. PM me and I will send some seeds.  They are white all through though and the ones I grew were quite short and curled - they may have hit stones or something.

I used to grow China Rose and Black Spanish Radish  but cannot find the seed now.

If you're looking for the round green/white-skinned radish with a red interior, they're called something like (from memory) 'Mantanghong'
If no-one on here can help you with seeds, try the usual seed suppliers, they used to be freely available...

Where the heck did you get that translated?  the planting guide is in JAPANESE, not Chinese.  The chart shows whereabouts in Japan you sow/harvest.  I think Britain is either at the top of Honshu Island (the long one) or near the bottom of Sapporo (the short fat one on the top of the chart).  I reckon about late march/early april for sowing, but I read somewhere that Dai Kon doesn't like the heat and Tokyo can be very hot in summer - ie about a third way down the long island.  Anyway its fun to grow - mine ended up thin and curly.
