Introduced for the First Time by us in 1889. 
AWARDED THE FIRST PRIZE, BIRMINGHAM.

one has made about here. ’ 
Mr. R. G. Gwilt, Leintwardine. 
In GLOUCESTER. — “I am pleased to say I like Carters’ 
Goldihorpe Harley ; it was my best, and fetched most 
money per (luarter.” — Mr. J. Hart, Kings Caple. 
In ESSEX. — “ My crop of Carters’ Goldthorpe Harley was 
considered a fine piece.” — Mr. G. Johnson, Lawford. 
The Goldthorpe 
Barley originated 
some seven years 
ago upon a farm in 
Nottinghamshire. A 
single ear was found 
in a crop of Cheva- 
lier, attracting atten- 
tion by reason of 
its closely- packed, 
even -grained ap- 
pearance, as well 
as by the length of 
the straw and robust 
character of the 
plant from which it 
sprang. The Gold- 
thorpe Barley has 
been carefully re- 
selected each year 
up to the present 
date, the handsome 
appearance of the 
crop securing ad- 
miration from all 
who saw it. It is 
distinct from the 
Spratt, Archer, or 
Beardless Barleys, 
and the grain is of 
first - rate malting 
ijuality. 
The Goldthorpe 
Barley is remark- 
able for stout long 
strait', rendering it 
less liable to layer in 
rainy U’eather than 
other Barleys ; it 
ripens forward on 
strong land, and the 
grain is very level, 
and of fine texture. 
In HERTS.—" I .nm very pleased with Carters' Goldthorpe 
Barley."— Mr. T. L. Orchari>, Westbrook Hay, 
In WILTS.—" Carter.,' Goldthorpe Barley answered very well ; 
owing to the stiflfness of the straw it was not laid.^ 
like the rest of my crops, and ripened more evenly. 
Mr. G. Long, Ogbourne. 
In VORKS.— “ I consider Carters' Goldthorpe Barley will 
stand the wet weather when other varieties fall. My Kinver 
Harley was down the first bad weather.” 
Mr. J. Hutchinson, Kellington.
