POTATOES THAT SHOULD BE IN EVERY GARDEN. 
CARTERS’ SUKRETA. 
(See Illustration. ) 
AWARDED FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE, INTERNATIONAL POTATOE SHOW, 1884. 
ALSO 
THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF MARKS FOR QUALITY, 
THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF MARKS FOR PRODUCTIVENESS. 
It is Important to note that no variety of Potatoe is now awarded a First Class Certificate, either by the International Potatoe 
Society or the Royal Horticultural Society, unless it has been errown, and its cooking properties officially tested by a committee 
appointed for this purpose. Sukreta has been grown for this test two successive seasons in the Gardens of the Royal 
Horticultural Society at Chiswick, so that its claim to be not only a new variety but also a most desirable acquisition is 
officially and unquestionably established. It is thus reported upon by Mr. BARRON, the Superintendent : “ Sukreta is a some- 
what rough white Kidney of the Snowflake type, but less handsome; top growth dwarf and stout; crop heavy and even. For 
Crop, Three Marks; for Table, Three Marks.” 
“ Potatoe, Carters’ Sukreta. — I am very pleased with this Potatoe, and having 
thirty varieties of Potatoes under trial this season, and many of them comparatively 
new, I have had some of each variety cooked in two separate ways. I give this one 
the palm for quality out of them all. It is literally a ball of flour when cooked. It 
is not so handsome as some, neither is it so prolific, but in quality it is A i. To any 
one requiring a really good Potatoe for cooking, I should advise them to give this 
variety a trial."-- G. C., in Amateur Gardening, September 17th, 1887.

THE HANDSOMEST POTATOE IN COMMERCE. 
FLAVOUR MOST DELICATE. 
AWARDED || FIRST PRIZES— BE ATING AL L VARIETIES SHOWN AGAINST IT. 
Ashtop Fluke Is a white Kidney of a beautiful form, with surface as even as a pebble, as shown in the opposite engraviDg. 
It is also very early, with flesh of snowy whiteness when cooked, and of a superb quality scarcely found in any other variety. 
It may be described as being as handsome as “International,” with the quality of the finest stocks of Dalmahoy or York 
Regent. Since its introduction by us some years since, the supply has frequently been unequal to the demand. 
“ Carters’ Ashtop Fluke is a first-class Potatoe, and has taken several Prizes 
here this year. Quality excellent.” — Mr. BAILLIE, Head Gardener to 
The Right Hon. The Earl of WILTON. 
“ Carters’ Ashtop Fluke is the variety for a gentleman’s table, and should be 
better known ; it is quite a favourite in this neighbourhood, and has taken several 
prizes.” — Mr. W. DIVERS, Maidstone. 
“ Carters’ Ashtop Fluke is par rxcellence the A 1 Potatoe to my way of thinking ; 
perfect in shape, in quality exquisite, and free from disease.” — The Head Gardener 
at a Royal Establishment. 
“ Carters' Ashtop Fluke is the best Potatoe that has come under my notice.” 
Mr. E. WILSON, Head Gardener to 
The Most Noble The Marquis of HARTINGTON. 
“ I must tell you I have gained 5 First Prizes in Six Years with Carters’ 
Ashtop Fluke Potatoe. I beat International with it last year ” (1883). 
“Carters’ Ashtop Fluke Potatoe gained me Six First Prizes.” 
Mr. J. GILBERT, Freshwater. 
Carters’ Ashtop Fluke is a real beauty.”— Mr. R. RUST, Arbroath.

THE COSMOPOLITAN. 
Very Handsome, of Splendid Quality, a 
most Popular Potatoe for Field Crops. 
Awarded a First Class Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
Awarded the FIRST PRIZE, and also the SILVER 
MEDAL as the BEST POTATOE in the Show, 
BIRMINGHAM, 1882. 
The Raiser described it as follows: “I regard it as an International, but 
earlier, with all the first-rate table qualities of the Woodstock Kidney ; it resists 
disease well. It has stout stalks of moderate height, large distinct leafage, 
and pale-purple blooms, which soon fall. It is a grand Garden Kidney, and, 
when better known, will become a popular Market Kidney.” 
The GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE, February 21^ 1885, in an article upon 
“ The Best Potatoes for Profit and Exhibition,” says: “ Cosmopolitan is an excellent 
second early variety, producing heavy crops of tubers, which are remarkably hand- 
some and of very fine quality, and it is not surprising to hear that it is steadily 
becoming popular for garden culture and for exhibition.” 
“ I cannot speak too highly of Carters’ Cosmopolitan Potatoe, it is a most excellent 
variety that does splendidly with me."— Mr. T. H. RABONE, Head Gardener to 
The Right Hod. The Earl of SHREWSBURY. 
“ I have grown Carters’ Cosmopolitan since its introduction as a garden Potatoe, 
and am inclined to recommend its trial as a field crop, owing to its robust growth, 
heaw cropping, and fine dry and floury peculiarity when cooked." 
y Mr. W. J. MURPHY. 
Price, 3e. per peck of 14 lbe. 
“ Carters’ Cosmopolitan is the best Potatoe brought out for years, it combines quan- 
tity, quality, and handsomeness — every requisite required.’*— Mr. P. MOSS, Yorks. 
“ Cosmopolitan is a nice Potatoe, good cropper, and good quality.” 
Mr. F. HARRISON, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. The Earl of DERBY. 
COSMOPOLITAN POTATOE. — “I have about thirty varieties growing side 
by side — early, intermediate, and late— many only introduced within the last few years. 
The most remarkable of the whole is Cosmopolitan, and it certainly is the 
most promising."— ” W. J. M.," in Journal of Horticulture. 
“ The most attractive and finest dish ol Potatoes in the show was undoubtedly 
Cosmopolitan, to which the Silver Medal was awarded.’
