Carters Early Long Forcing Turnip 
A New Early White Turnip 
Carters Little Marvel (see Photograph below ). — A cross between Early White Milan and Jersey Lily. This 
is a highly reselected stock. It is undoubtedly the quickest white globe-shaped Turnip in 
cultivation. Flesh crisp and solid and, as aptly described by one of our customers, “is a Little 
Marvel.” Very distinct in both habit and foliage, and is a splendid Table Turnip. 
The R. H. S., reporting from its trials at Wisley, says: — “Carters Little Marvel Turnip. White, round, handsome; 
foliage short and sturdy. A very early variety that should be valuable for forcing.” 
Price, .15 per pkt. ; .20 per oz. ; 
.45 per 34 lb. ; 1.50 per lb. 
“A New Turnip — Little Marvel. — This new in- 
troduction from Messrs. Carter & Co. is a great 
gain in earliness and quality, and will be a most 
valuable root for first crop in 
the open. So far I have only 
had roots grown in frames, 
and when forced they were 
superior to the Early Milan 
variety. It should be a useful 
root for 
first crop in 
the open, 
or for a 
quick crop 
required 
in a short 
time, and 
it can be 
grown for 
a summer 
crop." — G. 
Wythes, in

Carters Little Marvel Turnip 
The Cultivation of Turnip . — Sow Carters Little Marvel or Carters Jersey Lily for early use the first week in March on 
a gentle hotbed under glass, and later in a warm situation in the open ground. For main succession crops, sow every three 
weeks in the open ground until the beginning of July. Turnips for winter use must be planted during August and early 
in September, sowing the seed in rows about IS inches apart and thinning the plants to 3 or 4 inches apart. The Ruta 
Baga sorts should be sown from the 15th of June until late in July. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill, 2 pounds will 
sow an acre in drills. r ,
