TOMATO. 
Cultiuation Sow seed in February and March, and transplant into pots to harden off, afterwards plant out against a warm south wall in good and well-manured 
soil ; or they may be planted in a warm border, and carefully staked to keep the plants and fruit from straggling on the earth. If cultivated in pots the treatment shoulc. 
be the same, with the addition that liberal waterings of manure and rain-water daily will be found necessary, especially during the hottest part of the summer. {bee also

CARTERS’ OUTDOOR TOMATO, as grown by Mr. E. Burrell, Head Gardener to H.R.H. The Duchess of Albany. 
Carters’ Outdoor Tomato. — We recently made an important trial 
in our Experimental Ground at Mortlake of all the varieties of Tomatoes 
recommended in one direction and another, for culture, in the open air, 
and vve found our own speciality a long way ahead of others in its suitability 
for this purpose. It was not only the most robust in habit, but was the 
first to • come into flower — the first to bear ripe fruit. The annexed 
photograph will give a good idea of its prolific character, together with 
the very fine appearance of the individual fruits. 
One of the largest Kent Tomato Growers says this is the best type of 
early out-door Tomato he has ever had. 
Carters’ Perfection. — Quite distinct from, and immeasurably superior 
to, any other variety named Perfection already in commerce. It is very 
handsome in form, somewhat resembling Dedham Favourite, but very distinct 
in colour and of exquisite flavour. 
“ I have great pleasure in testifying to the grand quality of your seeds, 
for the Tomato seed supplied to me by you last year were splendid. The 
fruit was firm, of good colour, and pronounced by all who tasted them of 
exquisite flavour. The variety was your Improved ‘ Perfection.” — 
E. Austin, Esq., New Cross Gate. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per packet. 
Outdoor Early Tomatoes. — “On July 3rd I gathered a good dish of 
Tomatoes from plants put out on a south border, and trained up a stake just 
as we grow Dahlias. I have put out several well-known varieties and all are 
doing well, but first and foremost are Carters’ Outdoor, the earliest and best 
Tomato for growing outside I have ever seen. The plants were raised from 
seed sown in pots, and placed in frames in the beginning of March. Sub- 
sequently they were potted off singly and grown in frames till the third 
week in May, when on the 24th they were planted out on a border in front of 
a greenhouse, and they are growing and fruiting well.” — Mr. W. A. Cook, in 
the Gardeners' Magazine. 
“ I have grown Carters’ Outdoor Tomato this summer, besides other 
kinds, but it has beaten them all.”— Mr. J. Pike, Woolacombe Bay Hotel. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Blenheim Orange. — A curious cross between the red 
and yellow Tomato ; one of the best-flavoured varieties ever raised. 
“ III a house of Tomatoes a grand show is made by their large red and 
yellow fruited variety, Blenheim Orange. This is the Queen of Tomatoes, 
and we must look amongst the red varieties for the king.” 
The late Mr. Shirley Hibberd, in the Gardeners' Magazine. 
Carters’ Sandwich Island. — A most distinct variety, unique in 
form, colouring, and general character. As a Tomato for long journeys or 
rough handling it is unequalled, the skin being so remarkably firm that it may 
be packed with far greater ease and security than the general run of market 
Tomatoes. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Market Favourite. — A variety very much needed in 
the market, being very early, of medium size, good shape and colour. It 
possesses remarkably free setting properties. First Prize, Newbury, 1897. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per packet. 
Carters’ Greengage. — Introduced by us, and the first of the yellow 
section of any value. The rich golden-coloured, semi-transparent fruit so 
nearly represent Plums as to be trequently mistaken for the latter at the 
exhibitions. Awarded a First-Class Certificate by the Royal Horticultural 
Society. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
The following varieties of Tomatoes can aiso be supplied, price 6d. and Is. per 
packet, according to sorts : —

popular variety. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per packet. 
“ I was very pleased with Carters’ Tomato seed. I took six first and 
four second prizes with Carters’ Dedham Favourite. I cut one weighing 
1 lb. ioozs.” — Mr. W. Topliss, Burton-on-Trent.
