Carters’ Harbinger Forcing. 
A valuable and distinct addition to the class of early salading varieties. It was 
exhibited in splendid condition at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show in 
May by one of our customers, and was reported upon as follows : — 
“At the Temple Exhibition this Lettuce was finely staged by Mr. H. W. Ward, 
and largely contributed to the Silver Medal awarded for the display.” 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. ; 2s. 6d. per ounce. 
“ Lettuce Harbinger.— I have grown this variety for two seasons and am 
much pleased with it for early sowing. Those who have salads to supply in variety 
would do well to sow it several times during the summer on account of its crested 
leafage aud sweet crisp hearts. Given plenty of room it attains a large size, and, 
though an early kind, does not run in a dry season so soon as some. I find it most 
valuable for sowing in cold frames early in February. The plants, il freely exposed 
in fine weather, are very good for spring supplies, the thinnings, if pricked out at the 
foot of a south wall, forming a good succession.”. — S. H. B. in The Garden. 
Carters’ Longstandeiv 
-A distinct and valuable variety. 
From its peculiar habit of growth, as shown in the Illustration below, it is 
less liable to decay and damage than other cabbage varieties. The colour 
of the leaf is pale lemon-green ; it is prettily fringed, and of most delicious flavour. 
We exhibited perfect specimens a few seasons back, at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s monthly meeting in August, grown from seeds sown on April 5th. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. ; 2s. 6d per ounce. 
“ Carters’ Longstander Lettuce has turned out splendid. I have been cutting a 
large number of very fine Lettuces, while other varieties have run away, owing to the 
dry weather.” — Mr. T. Rati.ey, Sussex. 
“ Carters’ Longstander Lettuce, sown in April, stood without running to seed 
until August 15th.” — Rev. J. C. V. Bastow, Lutterworth.
