  HISPI F1

  This RHS AGM variety is a strong and uniform pointed type, with a beautifully sweet flavour. Cabbage 'Hispi' has good bolt resistance and needs little growing space so it is ideal for growing in small gardens where space is at a premium.

• 

  HURST GREENSHAFT

  This is the pea by which all others are judged, for it is outstanding in all respects, not least its superb flavour. The long, pointed pods, presented in pairs, each hold about 10 delicious peas. Resistant to disease and capable of long cropping, this high yielder may win you points on the show bench as well as praise in the kitchen.

• 

  TOM THUMB

  A much-loved lettuce producing delicious little butter-heads on fast growing plants. Grow under cloches for an extra early crop. It is also an excellent summer lettuce as it tolerates high temperatures and resists bolting better than larger varieties.

• 

  OCTAVIOUS

  An outstanding green celery which produces thick, succulent, pale green stems of medium length and good flavour. The vigorous plants are high yielding and slow to bolt.
