Illustrated List: RHS AGM Winners

RHS Vegetable Collection : Tomato : Legend

Bush (Determinate). Tomato Legend is a remarkable tomato variety, in recent trials showing impressive blight tolerance in a garden situation. Legend was bred in the USA by Dr. Jim Baggett at Oregon State University. Both Thompson & Morgan and Dr Baggett believe Legend could be the answer to many gardeners' prayers to help overcome this most destructive disease. A heavy crop of large glossy red fruits of up to 180g (6oz) in weight are produced on plants with a determinate (bushy) habit. The fruits of Tomato Legend are a slightly flatter shape, and almost seedless, early ripening, and have excellent flavour. Best grown outdoors but also suitable for growing under glass. Sow seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost - harvest mid summer to autumn. Seeds are in the RHS Vegetable Collection.

RHS Vegetable Collection : Tomato : Ruby F1 Hybrid

Cordon (Indeterminate). Vigorous plants producing long trusses of red, currant-sized fruits each about 10g (1/3oz). Tomato Ruby will produce over 30 fruits per truss and a huge crop of these succulent, sweet flavoured fruits over the season. Best grown under glass, but also suitable for a sunny position outdoors. Suitable for indoor growing, or outdoors in warm regions. Seeds are in the RHS Vegetable Collection.

Tomato : Alicante

Cordon (Indeterminate). Ideal variety for beginners. Tomato Alicante is a superior variety possessing all the things we look for in a tomato. Tomato Alicante produces a heavy crop of greenback free fruit early in the season and the flavour is excellent.

Tomato : Gardener's Delight

Cordon (Indeterminate). The true tangy flavour of tomatoes of a century or more ago. If you are of the opinion tomatoes have lost their flavour then Tomato Gardener's Delight is a must for you. It is a greenhouse or outdoor type, packed with bite-size fruit, ideal for salads and sandwiches and full of vitamins. Highly commended RHS trials.

Tomato : Golden Sunrise

Cordon (Indeterminate). Medium sized, early, smooth, well shaped, golden yellow tomatoes, Tomato Golden Sunrise has a sweet fruity flavour.

Tomato : Golden Sweet F1 Hybrid

Indeterminate. New breeding has developed this stunning golden-orange skinned 'cherry plum' tomato, with a delicious sweet flavour. Tomato Golden Sweet plants produce large multi-clusters of 15-18g (½-¾oz) fruits, with up to 40 fruits per cluster that resist splitting.

Golden Sweet is also Fusarium and Rootknot nematode resistant.

Tomato : Ildi

Cordon (Indeterminate).

Mini, sweet yellow, pear shaped fruits with up to 80 fruits per truss. Plants of Tomato Ildi naturally stop growing at 150-180cm (5-6 feet) carrying 3-4 trusses per plant.

Trusses can be picked, hung in a cool garage, and kept for weeks without fruit dropping.

Harvest August to October. Suitable outdoors or under glass.

Tomato : Rosada F1 Hybrid

Cordon. Tomato Rosada has slightly larger fruit than the popular 'Santa' with a more pronounced calyx and a slightly thinner skin with much better resistance to fruit splitting. Exceptional flavour with high sugar and high acids to give that real tomato taste.

Tomato Rosada is best for the greenhouse, but will grow in a sunny spot outdoors. Abundant crops throughout the summer.

Tomato : Shirley F1

Cordon (Indeterminate). A popular early maturing, heavy cropping variety for cold or slightly heated greenhouses with excellent quality fruit. Tomato Shirley is recommended for growbag culture with an open growing habit and resistance to TMV, Cladosporium ABC and Fusarium 1 and 2. Exhibitors' favourite.
