Confirmed as Outdoor Variety, after growth at Wisley, Oct. 10th, 1907.

Society, 71 varieties being sent in from all the leading houses. 
The only First Class Certificate was given to Carters “ Sunrise,” and the following 
note is attached to the report : —

variety superior to those already in commerce. In this trial Only one 
Stood out as being of exceptional value, viz., ‘Sunrise.’”
