and transplant to well-prepared hot-bed when the plants are sufficiently established. Sow again in September for Winter use. (See also 
Carters’ Practical Gardener for full intormation on the culture oi Cucumbers ; price Is., post free Is. 4d.) 
CARTERS’ CARDIFF CASTLE. — { See Illustration.') — Awarded a Cultural Commendation 
by the Royal Horticultural Society. — It also formed one of the dishes in the First Prize Collection 
at the Edinburgh International Show, 1883. It has taken First Prizes in all parts of the country, and 
is invaluable either for Summer or Winter work. The fruit is of a rich emerald colour, perfect in 
form, growing to a length of about 18 inches. It is remarkably free-bearing, producing three to 
four fruits at a single joint. It is wonderfully hardy, and not liable to disease. A Correspondent in 
The Gardener describes it as the best new Cucumber raised since the Telegraph. 
“Cardiff Castle Cucumber is truly an excellent sort, free-bearing, and of fine form and quality." 
A. F. BARRON, Esq., Supt. Royal Horticultural Society’s Gardens. 
“ Having a fine lot of Cardiff Castle Cucumber coming 
orward for early work, I send a note in time for the many 
cultivators who will be sowing Cucumber seed shortly. It 
is a remarkably useful variety for productiveness and 
beauty. The plant is a good grower, and a good disease 
resister. The fruits are models of neat lorm, brilliant in 
colour, tender, and well-flavoured." — GARDENERS’ 
MAGAZINE. 
“Cardiff Castle Cucumber is one of the best that 
can be grown. I recommend it to every one for its pro- 
ductiveness, colour, size, and flavour." 
The Head Gardener to a Royal Establishment. 
“ The handsomest Cucumber for exhibition is Cardiff 
Castle, a rich emerald-green kind, which grows about 18 
inches long. Very nearly, if not quite as good, is Tender and 
True, the fruit of which is very symmetrical, with scarcely 
any neck.” — J. C. C., in “The Garden." 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. and 2s. 6d. per packet.
