Enthusiastic vegetable gardeners are sure to notice the introduction of onion Exhibition, displayed in its own compact counter unit. This ?remarkably similar descendant of The Kelsae is a first-rate substitute while seed of its progenitor remains in short supply; its keen pricing (?2.99 for 100 seeds) will be appreciated by potential exhibitors.

Johnsons Little Gardeners
