  MERSLEY WIGHT

  (Soft neck) A Classic "Silverskin" type, ideal for late winter or spring planting. One of the best for keeping qualities, it can be stored up to June the following year. Mersley Wight has outstanding vigour and is larger and bolder than similar types. Ideal garlic for the UK gardener. Ready for harvest end of July.

  ARUNDEL F1

  The firm, fairly large buttons are packed tightly round the stem to give a high yield and, despite their size, are remarkably mild and sweet, with not a hint of bitterness. Plenty of really tasty sprouts from this exclusive early to mid-season, vigorous sprout.

• 

  MINICOLE

  Autumn/Winter Cutting (Ball-Head) - Very popular because the rather small, oval heads stand in good condition for 12 weeks or more with no deterioration. Even better, it has a good flavour and is a good choice for smaller gardens or where space is limited.

  BOLTARDY

  Beetroot Boltardy seeds can be sown earlier than most other varieties with little fear of bolting. The roots are deep red and of good quality and flavour, yielding well in most soils. Boltardy is a multigerm variety, so each seed which germinates successfully will produce several plants.
