    COBRA (Climbing)

    Extremely heavy cropping variety producing masses of round, stringless beans each about 7 inches long. Cobra is a climbing French bean producing crops continuously over a long period.

    RUCOLA

    A superb salad vegetable and a superior strain to the traditional type with leaves of a delicious rich spicy flavour.

    CHIOGGIA

    This old Italian favourite shows alternate red and white rings when sliced - just the job for adding interest to salads. Its flavour is mild and most appealing. Roots become pink when cooked.

    MARKETMORE 76

    A great choice for outdoor cropping, where it will produce plenty of 20cm/8in long, dark green-skinned straight fruits with a proper cucumber flavour. The plants show some resistance to powdery and downy mildews.
