Not a reply but two questions, Arnie:
Presumably, you mean seeds for next year?
Why Rampart and Fortress?

Hi Monika,
Sorry
yes its seeds for next year, why these two, I grew rampart a couple of years ago with great results and then I could not get hold of the seed
I don't know why they just disappeared !!
I have been looking for ages to try and source some more, whilst doing this I came across reports about rampart and if not available fortress were a good one to try and I cannot find them either
Regards
Arnie

Strange. I remember seeing Fortress quite recently, yet nothing coming up on Google...

Nothing in the 2013 Marshalls or Thompson & Morgan catalogues which I have just received. And, as Freddy says, nothing on seed companies' websites..

I think royal sluis held the breeders rights to rampart, but together with the firm sementis have been absorbed into monsanto. I had the same trouble with sprout "amoroso " which was withdrawn in uk but I can still get it over in holland from sluis garden NL.
