British seed catalogues - 2000 DT Brown DT Brown may not be one of the largest seed companies but they offer some of the best value of all amongst the mail order seed catalogues. Uniquely, they also supply nurseries through their separate commercial growers catalogue so they have an insight into all areas of the seed market. In recent years they've greatly enhanced their vegetable list, they were the first to introduce organically grown vegetable seed, and some years ago boosted their flower selection with their Heritage Range of old, but almost lost varieties. DT Brown have reduced the prices of their busy lizzies and impatiens by up to 25% this year, following last year's similar reduction in the price of geraniums, and now offer the best value in these items. They also have some good new introductions like the Bohemian Rhapsody Mixture, Pansy 'Banner Daffodil Mixed' in yellow shades and the impressively frilly Pansy 'Can Can'. Salpiglossis 'Royale Orange Bicolour' is a real stunner, they have a splendid carefully selected range of sweet peas in their Spencer Select Range and the first double flowered fibrous begonia from seed, 'Queen Red'. Best new DT Brown variety for 2000: Salpiglossis 'Royale Orange Bicolour'. Next best DT Brown newcomers: Bohemian Rhapsody Mixture, Pansy 'Can Can' and Geranium 'Tornado Mixed'. But think twice about: Helleborus orientalis 'Mixed', germination could be poor.
