CARTERS’ SUMMER FAVOURITE CARROT. 
From a Gold Medal Exhibit, Royal Horticultural Society. 
Cartel's’ Summer Favourite {see Photograph above ). — 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. Twenty First Prizes reported to us in 1906. 
Price 6d. per packet; is. 3d. per ounce. 
Carters’ Golden Ball. — A most distinct and 
very 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, 1905. 
Price 6d. per packet ; IS. per ounce. 
Valuadi-e Forcing Carrot.— This useful small 
Carrot is well worth notice on account of its quick growth, 
good eating qualities, and its value for forcing. For frame 
culture we have found it superior to the Short Hom^ 
and it is earlier than the Early Nantes, though in many 
respects it resembles the last named. Golaen Ball is 
nearly round, more like a small Turnip. It is of a bright 
olden colour, and the flesh is very soft and melting, there 
eing no hard core. As an early border Carrot, Golden 
.5rt//shottld become a great favourite, and in cold soils or 
on poor land these sm.all Carrots are most useful.^ Last 
se.ason I saw this root grown largely on land that in pre- 
vious years had grown long roots, but which had failed 
woefully. By making four or five sowings in the year, 
well liming or dressing the land with wood ashes, good 
tender roots may be had of the above variety, smaller 
certainly than the long Carrots, but of delicious quality. 
There will be no breiik in the supply if a good sowing is 
made in July or August for the winter supplies." 
G. WvTHES, late Head Gardener to His Grace the 
Duke of Northumberland. 
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 growths. 
Price IS. per packet ; IS. 6d. per ounce. 
Carters’ Long Forcing Carrot.— “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." — E. B. in Gardeners' 
Chronicle.
