The Carter Spinach • — This fine Spinach, originally discovered by one of our travellers on the Continent, was sent for trial to the 
Gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, and was given an Award of Merit at the Committee Meeting on June nth, 1895. Our photograph 
illustrates in a remarkable manner the solid substance of the leaves ; and the whole plant, which is very dark in colour, is of far greater 
duration than ordinary Spinach. 
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY FROM RELIABLE MEN. 
“The Carter Spinach. —This variety stands out so prominent from others that X am pleased to refer to its good winter qualities and its superiority over older 
forms. It was one of the few which stood the test at Chiswick and received an award. I consider it quite distinct.” — G. Wythes, in The Garden. 
“ I was pleased to see Mr. Wythes’ note on this fine Spinach, which deserves extended cultivation. I have proved it to be excellent both for winter and summer 
work. Victoria failed me as a winter variety, and never came away so strongly as the Carter.” — J. C. Tallack, in The Garden. 
“ I w ' s h to bear testimony to the excellence of your new Spinach The Carter. It is a great advance on Summer Favourite and other good kinds, for, notwithstanding 
the very dry weather, I have been able to pick leaves nearly a foot long and broad in proportion.” — Mr. E. Tylf.r, The Gardens, Monkshatch. 
“ The best Spinach in cultivation, and quite distinct from all others.” — Mr. A. Pettigrew, The Gardens, Cardiff Castle.
