Carters’ Defiance Forcing. 
A very pretty and useful variety. In perfection during July and August— a 
season when a scarcity exists in vegetables of this description. 
A very distinct and valuable Cauliflower. It is much earlier than any other 
variety, producing beautiful white heads about the size of a cricket ball. For 
forcing it is unequalled. Very dwarf and compact habit. 
In sealed packets, 2s. ner packet. 
MARKET GARDEN NOTES. — We planted three kinds side by 
side — these were Carters’ Extra Early Defiance, Extra Early, and Early I 
Snowball— and in all points of merit they stand as I have placed them here. 
Carters’ variety came in first, and its heads were the most compact of the lot, as 
well as the largest.” — The Garden. 
“ I was greatly pleased with the seeds obtained from you last year. Carters 
Cauliflowers were the most extraordinary I have ever seen. 
“Mr. G. Hereford, New Malden.” 
“ The Cauliflowers from your seed are the best for miles around— in fact, every- 
one that saw them said that they never saw anything like them for shape and 
enormous size. — Mr. T Hockings, Ludgershall.”

Carters’ Mont Blanc. 
Magnificent snow-white heads, well protected by the leaves ; one of the best for 
soils of a heavy or retentive nature. 
In sealed packets, Is. 6d. per packet. 
“Carters’ Mont Blanc Cauliflower.— This has the merit of being distinct. 
The plants are strikingly compact in habit, and the heads are large. It is a summer 
sort, and those who grow half-a-dozen varieties of Cauliflower and do not include this 
may rest assured that they are without one good one at least. Some Cauliflowers 
only succeed in certain soils, but I have noticed that this one does well in all, and its 
good constitution and robust style of growth indicates it as a variety that will prove 
remunerative.” -Journal of Horticulture. 
“ There was nothing at our Show like Carters’. An old gardener, who had 
grown Cauliflowers for 52 years, said he had never seen the like before. 
“ Mr. M. Alexander, Hay Park House.”
