A friend is trying to trace an old variety of cauliflower called
(something) Queen.
All I can find on Google is Violet Queen, but the one she's after is a
white one.
Anyone know what it might be?
TIA

Pam in Bristol

English Winter / April Queen?

White cauliflower that matures in April.

Having suggested that I can't seem to find it on T&M, Chiltern Seeds,
Suttons (AKA Dobies) nor EW King. Although I'm looking at a seed packet
(v.old) for them now - produced by a company called Goldpak, I can't seem to
find this company on the web either.

It might be that they are no longer available due to the length of time
taken to grow them. Sow in April, transplant in June / July, maturing in
April the following year.
