  Abraham Lincoln Upright Both Very large, red Victoriana Nursery Bred over 80 years ago, this variety produces average tomato weights of 1 lb. Deep, deep red in colour with a full old-fashioned tomato taste.

  Black Krim Upright Both Large, purple Victoriana Nursery A favourite of Jamie Oliver. Not only is the colour of this tomato unusual but it is also extremely tasty. An heirloom variety pre-dating the Crimean War.

  Blizzard Upright Greenhouse Medium, red Victoriana Nursery Very prolific and great tasting. This variety is set apart from from others by its ability to set fruit in low light / short day times. This makes it ideal for extending the greenhouse growing season into the winter.

  Cedrico Upright Greenhouse Medium sized, red Jersey Plants Direct An F1 variety which is the top tomato for exhibition purposes. Fruit is perfectly round and remains firm after picking.

  Classy Upright Greenhouse Medium sized, red Seeds by Size Another exhibition variety but not in the same class as Cedrico and Goldstar. Firm, round red fruits.
