The only First Class Certificate was given to Carters “ Sunrise,” and the following 
note is attached to the report : —

Stood out as being of exceptionai vaiue, viz., ‘Sunrise.’”

I exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society’s meeting on March 6th were sown in September and commenced fruiting in 
December— grown in 6-in. pots. It Is a splendid Winter fruiting variety.” 
His Grace The Duke of Buccleuch’s Head Gardener says: — We grew fifty plants of Sunrise Tomato in pots 
here. It is a good cropper, sets very freely, and bears fine medium-sized fruits of splendid quality and flavour.”

The Rig^ht Hon. The Earl of Carlisle’s Head Gardener says: — “I may say I gave Sunrise Tomato a (rial 
last season and was highly pleased with it. It sets very freely and produces enormous trusses of highly-coloured 
medium-sized fruits of good quality.’’— Mr. A. E Sutton, Castle Howard, January <^th, 1907. 
The Rig^ht Hon. The Earl of Jersey’s Head Gardener says : — ^'Sunrise Tomato has cropped grandly outside 
this season. It has been quite the best one here.”— Mr J. Hawkes, The Gardens, Osierley Park, October ^tk, 1906. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Lathom’s Head Gardener says: — ‘‘A marvellous cropping variety, and 
destined to become the 'I'omato for market growers especially. I never saw its equal for cropping, and the fruits are just 
the size the market growers require — me<iiuni, with good appearance and no waste." — Mr. H. Ashton, The Gardens, Laihom House. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Onslow’s Head Gardener says:- I have grown your Sunrise Tomato since first 
it came out, and I consider it the best 'J omato ever sent out. It is earlier than most, no trouble to set, nice even size, and very heavy 
cropper, above all, the quality is unsurpassed."— .Mr. H. W. Plake, The Gardens, Clandon Park, Guildford. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Sandwich’s Head Gardener says: — “I have grown your Tomato out of 
doors as well as in this season with marvellous success, and consider it a perfect Tomato either for in or out door culture.” — 
Mr. F. Hansfoku, The Garden.s, Hooke Court, Beaminster. 
The Hon. Vicary Gibbs* Head Gardener says : — “We have just finished Sunrise. It is a capital Tomato, a 
wonderful setter, fine quality and flavour. 'I'hey are the finest lot I have ever seen.”— Mi. E. Beckett, The Gardens, 
Aldc'nham House, Elsiree. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener says: — “There i.« no doubt but that this is an excellent 
variety. The fruits arc produced in abundance when the plants are quite small. When ripe they are of even size, good colour, 
and with .smooth .skins. Either for market or private gardens this will prove to be one of the best.”— Mr. H. 
pRiNSEF, I'he Gardens, Buxttd Paik. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midteton’s Head Gardener says : — “.y/rNr/V Tomato. I have never had .such a 
heavy crop as I have had this sea.son, especially outside on a wall facing south. 1 have counted as many as five large trusses, many 
carrying a dozen good-sized fruit and all finished to a splendid colour, considering what wretched condiiions prevailed for successful 
culture. They have also carried large crops inside, fruiting all up the plants from six inches from the border to the top of the house.” 
Mr. Quainton, Tbe Gardens, Peper Harrow Park, Godaiming. 
The Right Hon. Lord Poltimore’s Head Gardener says :-“This variety maintains all its good points of the 
first trial, anti is probably unrivalled as a cropper." — Mr T. H. Slade, The Ganiens, Poltimore Park. 
The Right Hon. Walter Long’s Head Gardener says: — “Carters Sunrise has proved a splendid 
acquisition, so easy to set and fhee in cropping, i predict a large inquiry for it among all classes of growers. Gardeners, 
visiting here have been much impressed with it.”— Mr. W. Strugnali., The Gardens, Rood, Ashton.
