CARROT. 
The Cultiuation of Carrot. -For early forcing sow in January in frames, in February on warm border. Make successional and main crop sowings during March and 
April in deep well-conditioned soil to which manure has not been recently applied, cover the seed very lightly in J-inch drills, and as soon as the plants are strong 
enough to handle, thin out from 4 to 8 inches. Further sowings may be made up to the end of June. 
Some marvellous examples of these fine Carrots were exhibited at the Meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, October 13, 1896, 
by one of our customers, whose collection gained a Gold Medal. 
Carters’ Long 1 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. 
The Garden says of Carters’ Long Forcing Carrot : “ When it becomes 
better known it will be in considerable demand, as it commands great earliness, 
fine quality, and a desirable shape. Most of the early Carrots are of the Scarlet 
Horn type, but the above is more after the Intermediate class, and for that reason 
will be in favour on many gentlemen’s tables. It grows as quickly as the earliest 
varieties, and is a decided acquisition to those gardeners who are expected to supply 
long tender roots about the size of a rat’s tail for as long a season as possible.” 
“Quite a new type, and will be largely grown when better known.” 
Mr. J. Aplin, The Gardens, Hasfield Court. 
“ One of the best I have ever seen, being clean and straight. Where good 
early Carrots are required this is a great acquisition.” 
Mr. G. H. Maycock, The Gardens, Luton Hoo.

It is some years since we introduced those fine Carrots— Carters’ Summer Favourite, 
still the highest type in the early garden class — and Carters’ Scarlet Perfection, 
the best type of the Intermediate section. The present novelty is a veritable giant, 
both in length and rotundity, so much so that we have only been able to find room 
for a photograph of the top portion of the root in this Catalogue. Specimens we have 
exhibited at our establishment measured two feet and a half in length (30 inches). It 
has been brought to this high standard of perfection by one of the best professional 
gardeners, and from whom we have acquired the whole stock. It is a remarkable 
variety, and one which will become prominent in all first-class gardens and on the 
exhibition table.
