Black Russian is listed as an early beefsteak yet mine are usually late?
I have sown a bit earlier this year so maybe I will see it live up to its reputation.

Black Russian is F1. (25 seeds £2.99)
Honeycomb is NOT F1 (15 seeds £3.99)
Mountain magic is NOT F1 (6 seeds £3.99)
All different to SC's list. It really bugs me how the companies can't be consistent over what is/isn't an F1 seed.
I think I would trust SC on these 3 rather than Marshalls, they even describe Black Russian as a heritage tomato and 65p a seed for Mountain Magic suggests F1.

I am sure that in the past I have grown Black Russian from my own saved seed and it has come true.
Shirley tomatoes are some times listed as F1's but I have deffo grown them from saved seed without any loss of vigour or taste.

Mr Fothergill's version:-
Black Russian (small beefsteak) 75 seeds £1.99
Shirley F1 10 seeds £4.25
Mountain magic F1 10 seeds £3.45
Akron F1 10 seeds £3.60
Ferline F1 15 seeds £3.60
Honeygold F1 10 seeds £3.60
Losetto F1 10 seeds £3.55
Sungold F1 10 seeds £3.60
Maskotka 25 seeds £2.40
At least they agree with SC's magazine!!
