CARTERS’ FERN-LEAVED— Exquisitely perfect in form

able as an ornamental-foliaged plant for table decoration and the 
flower border. In sealed packets, price 6d. and Is. per packet. 
First Prize, Sheffield, 1887. 
‘‘Carters’ Fem-Leaved Parsley is the best I have ever seen. At a little distance 
it looks like a well-grown Lycopod ; indeed, as an ornamental culinary plant it 
stands in the foremost rank. ’’-Extract from an article on Select Vegetables, 
in THE GARDEN. 
“ Carters’ 1 em-Leaved Parsley is everybody’s admiration. I consider it the 
finest garnish that can be found. G. F. BARRETT, Esq. , Spalding.

RADISH. 
The Cultiuation of Radish. — Sow on a moderate hot-bed in January, February, and March ; also every 
fortnight in well-prepared open borders. A sowing in a frame, or on a warm border in October, is also 
desirable. Water early in the morning during hot weather. 
CARTERS’ “AMERICAN KNICKERBOCKER.” — [See Illustration.') It grows to a 
very large size, frequently to a length of 8 inches, and half an inch in thickness, whilst the quality is 
superb, the flesh crisp, melting, and juicy ; the upper portion is of a rich rosy red colour, shading 
gradually off to white at the thin end of the root. 
When other varieties become hot, tough, and stringy, this Radish remains in perfect condition. It must 
speedily become a great favourite. For Exhibition purposes it is invaluable.
