A selection of six packets of seed. A most distinguished collection for the industrious gardener: the venerable Aubergine ‘Black Beauty’ of 1902, broad‑shouldered and lustrous; the spirited Chili ‘Sparky’, long, slim and agreeably hot; the steadfast Lettuce Butterhead ‘All Year Round’ of 1873, tender and sweet in every season; the old Italian‑American Endive & Escarole mix, frilled, aromatic and delightfully bitter; the abundant Basil ‘Culinary Blend’, a perfumed profusion of sizes and scents; and the Cucumber Greenhouse gherkin ‘Calimbo’, a crisp, obliging vine yielding perfect picklers for every brined fancy. A handsome suite of varieties, each bearing its own charm and culinary virtue. Seed count is on each packet
