Excellent first year flowering variety.

Height: 50-60cm (20-24in).

Bean : Broad Bean : Violetta

Normal green pods containing succulent green beans when picked young, beans change to a violet-purple colour if left to mature and harvested as a dried bean.

Bean : Runner Bean : Aintree

British breeding from the same stable as the ever popular Red Rum. Red flowers produce excellent quality, slim, straight smooth pods up to 28cm (11in) long of very good flavour and which are stringless when young. Has a good tolerance of high temperatures for flower setting.

Beetroot : Alto F1 Hybrid

The first F1 hybrid cylindrical 'Housewives' Choice Beetroot with the sweetest of flavours. Uniform, straight roots have a smooth rich red skin and flesh colour, free from rings making them easy to prepare.

Roots stand proud above the soil, but can be earthed up, and remain in good condition for long periods.

Brussels Sprout : Bedford Fillbasket

Often producing the largest, most solid sprouts and the heaviest yields, and a continuous crop from early autumn to Christmas.

Cabbage : Savoy January King

This is a hardy winter cabbage, not even severe frost seems to bother it. The heads are crisp and crunchy with good flavour and the leaf is a conifer-blue colour.

Cabbage : Spring : April

It has one very big advantage over most other cabbages suitable for autumn sowing. It can withstand the bolting tendency (running to seed with resulting complete loss of crop) which often plagues autumn sown cabbage and it can also be sown very close together 38cm (15in) apart 25cm (10in) between rows. Ideal where space is at a premium.
