Holbom Standard 
Lettuce 
Carters Holborn Standard ( see Photograph ). — A Lettuce of extraordinary size and duration. It 
forms well-developed heads early and is one of the very last to start for seed. Its leaves are 
crumpled and crisp, is very tender and of excellent flavour, will provide an abundance of salad 
during the hottest summers. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says: 
— “Carters Holborn Standard ; hearts large, solid, crisp, good flavour.’’ 
Price, .25 per pkt. ; .65 per oz. 
Carters Perpetual. — This is a large, handsome heading Lettuce, equally suitable for forcing or open 
ground. Its great attraction is its resistance to drought. It produces fine heads of a lively green 
colour and retains its crisp and tender flavour to the last, its deeply crumpled leaves giving it great 
substance. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting, says: — “Carters Perpetual. — Foliage 
beautifully curled; a fine stock.” 
Price, .15 per pkt. ; .60 per oz. 
Carters Harbinger Forcing. — Valuable on account of its extreme earliness. Is not a hearting variety, 
but being of quick growth is much in request for early salads. 
Price, .16 per pkt. ; .60 per oz. 
Carters Green-Fringed. — Of a very delicate and peculiar shade of green, inner parts of the leaves 
being white; the edges are prettily fringed. 
Price, .15 per pkt.; .60 per oz.
