JCartercone.—This small perfectly-shaped
Savoy was very favourably commented
upon when included in our exhibit of
Brassicas at the Royal Horticultural Society's Hall, autumn,
1913, and the Vegetable Committee recommended it for further
trial at Wisley. The heart is a perfect cone in shape, whilst
its absolute freedom from coarseness ensures its success for table
use. Cartercone is a very refined type. Although maturing
early, it stands over a very long period and is not liable to burst,
as are many of the ordinary types.

The Cultxiaticn of Carrots.—:Tfiis vegetable
"does its best in a warm, deep, rather light,
and fairly fertile soil that is well supplied with humus. Sow the
seed from April to July in drills 1 ft. apart, covering the seed £ in.
in depth. As the young plants appear thin out to from 3 to 5 in.
apart, according to the size of the expected variety. Keep the
soil well cultivated, as weeds are a sure death to young carrot
plants. Keep irrigated during droughts if it be possible. 1 oz.
of seed will plant 100 ft. of drill, 3 to 4 lb. to the acre.

362 Carters Golden Ball.—A most distinct and small early variety,
specially adapted for forcing and frame work. The roots are
almost as round as a turnip, flavour excellent and melting. Awarded First Prize as the best early Carrot, R.H.S. Great Autumn
Exhibition, included in 4 Gold Medal Exhibits.
363 Carters Improved Early Horn.—A perfect type of stump-
rooted Carrot, of excellent flavour. Our Gold Medal Display of
Vegetables contained splendid specimens of this fine type.
365 Carters Long Forcing.—A handsome long Carrot, with the
same depth of colour and firmness of texture in its earliest stages
as other Carrots possess in their later growth. "This forcing
Carrot is one of the most distinct and valuable that we possess,
and when better known it is sure to be extensively grown. It is
the quickest variety that I know of, and makes but very little
top, and the quality is excellent. As a Carrot coming into use
early in the year, and for exhibition, it is an acquisition."
366 Carters Early Market.—Fine early variety of good colour,
quick in growth, valuable alike for market gardeners or private
use. Splendid specimens were exhibited in our Gold Medal
Exhibits at Chelsea and Leamington; Gold Medal awarded at
York Gala Show.
376 Carters Summer Favourite.—Awarded Royal Horticultural
Society's Silver Medal. A splendid half-long, producing handsome, well-grown, bright cochineal-scarlet Carrots very early in
the season. The quality is superb, and as an exhibition variety
coming into use early it will be found invaluable for showing in
the summer months. 67 First Prizes reported in one season.
3 Gold Medals awarded to Exhibits containing Summer Favourite.
