Suggest you brouse "Thomas Etty's old seed catalogues at. www.thomasetty.co.uk/seeds/index.html those were the days. 
Thousand head borecole sounfds prolific, lol.
Seriously though the seeds that germinated best for me this year were those I saved and heritage ones that I purchased, poor germination from modern expensive F1 packets. makes me wonder how old the seed we buy is!
