FRAME CUCUMBER. 
We conducted ar ii 
iportant trial of Cucumbers during the past season and could not find anything superior 
in either shape or colour to the leading kinds we now offer. 
The Cultiuation of Frame Cucumber. — Sow in a pot or pan during March in heat for Summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from 
strong lights until the seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared hot-bed, or other position, when the plants are sufficiently 
established. Sow again in September for winter use. (See also Carters’ Practical Gardener for full information on the 
culture of Cucumbers ; price is., post free is. 3d.)

Carters’ Earliest of All. — After conducting a careful trial of all the best known varieties of 
Cucumber, we have proved this to be by far the quickest finishing variety. It produced perfect fruit nine days in 
advance of all others. It is of good colour, handsome form, and fine quality on the table. 
In sealed packets, 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Cardiff Castle. —Awarded a Cultural Commendation by the Royal Horticultural Society. 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 Garden describes it as the best Cucumber raised since 
Telegraph.
