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

According to this website:

http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/oakes/1...ort/cfpt98.htm

there's one called "White Queen". I've got a feeling it might be a white
variety!

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.

That's quite normal for spring cropping Caulies, the ones we grow are the
same, transplanted them out a week ago.

Marshall's offer a 'Snow Crown' for summer use. Is that regal enough?

Thanks all for suggestions. I've passed them on to the friend who was
asking about it.
