CARTERS’ SUMMER FAVOURITE CARROT. 
From a Gold Medal Exhibit, Royal Horticultural Society. 
Carters’ Summer Favourite {see Photograph above). — Awarded Royal Horti- 
cultural Society’s Silver Medal. A splendid half-long, producing handsome, well-grown, 
bright cochineal-scarlet Carrots very early in the season. The quality is superb, and as an 
exhibition variety coming into use early it will be found invaluable for showing in the 
summer months. Forty Prizes reported to us in Seasons 1906 and 1907. 
Price 6 d. per packet ; is. 3 d. per ounce. 
Carters’ Blood Red, — This Carrot is quite distinct, and has many good and new 
qualities. It has a depth ol colour not hitherto seen in Carrots, the texture of its 
flesh, while solid and crisp, is most tender, and entirely loses the pithy heart found in 
many large-growing varieties. It has handsome long roots. 
Price 6 d. and is. per packet. 
“ Quite a distinct colour in Carrots; the roots are very tender and of good flavour.” — Mr. T. H. Slade, Head 
Gardener to the Earl of Poltimore, Exeter. 
“The deepest coloured carrot we grow. It should be much appreciated by the chef.” — Mr. J. C. Tallack, 
The Gardens, Shipley Hall, Derby. 
“ A variety of excellent quality. It is a beautiful shape, not too large, and when drawn young it makes 
a most tempting dish. A grand summer variety.” — Mr. H. C. Prinsep, The Gardens, Buxted Park. 
“ A splendid variety, beautiful in shape and colour, with a very small core. It does well here.” — 
Mr. J. WiiYTOCK, Head Gardener to His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, Dalkeith. 
“A Carrot with wonderful depth of colour. It is splendid for exhibition.” — Mr. B. Ashton, Head 
Gardener to the Earl of Lathom, Lathom House. 
Three of our selected types of Carrot were exhibited at the Temple Show, May, 1906, In the Collection 
exhibited by the University of Reading, which gained a Sllver-Gllt Medal. 
The Cultivation of Carrot . — For early forcing sow in January in frames, in February on warm border. Make 
successional and main crop sowings during March and April in deep well-conditioned soil to which manure has 
not been recently applied. Cover the seed very lightly in J-inch drills, and as soon as the plants are strong enough 
to handle, thin out from 4 to 9 inches, according to sort. Further sowings may be made up to the end of June.
