I just googled Durham Wheelers and got nothing. Durham Early or Wheeler's Imperial, perhaps?

As for recommendations, any of these appeal?
* Pixie - Small pointed cabbage can be used early for greens or later for small Hearted cabbage.
* Minicole F1 - Small compact round cabbage ideal for small spaces
* Redcap F1 - Superb, deep-red, solid, mini round cabbage heads on compact plants with no wasted outer leaves. Stands well with good quality heads.
* Shelta F1 - dark green ballhead, with a sweet flavour, ideal shredded raw in salads, or steamed.
