    CHARLOTTE

    This is a very popular high yielding variety with long yellow tubers and waxy, tasty flesh. Excellent for salads and general use. Stores well and can be used as baked, mash, roast or salad.

    RESISTAFLY

    Marked resistance to carrot fly is not the only reason to grow this Nantes-type. Its flavour is sweet, and the roots have little core. The perfect finger carrot for late autumn.

    SUNDANCE

    Still considered the best sweet corn for early maturity in indifferent summers. The cobs are some 180mm (7in) long and close-packed with sugary kernels of creamy-yellow. Recommended for deep freezing.

    SNOWBALL

    A very popular, quick-growing, round variety with white skin and solid flesh of mild flavour. Specially recommended for table and exhibition.
