variiTv'* Head Gardener says a marvellous cropping 
variety, and destined to become Tomato for market growers especially. I never saw its equal for 
cropping, and the fruits are just the size the market growers require— medium, with good appearance and 
no was!e. — Mr. B. Ashton, The Gardens, Lalhom House.

just finished Sunrise. It is a capital Tomato, a wonderful setter, fine quality and flavour. They are the flncst 
lot I hav© ever s©en.” — Mr. E. Becketf, The Gardens, Aldenham House. 
P®^"tman S Head Gardener says: — “There is no doubt but that this 
IS an excellent variety. The fruits are produced in abundance when the plants are quite small. When ripe 
they are of even size, good colour, and with smooth skins. Either for market or private gardens 
this will prove to be one of the best.”— Mr. II. Prinsep, The Gardens, Buxted Park. 
Poltimor© s Head Gardener says: — “This is about the most distinct 
1 omato m cultivation ; an enormous cropper, we have clusters carrying nineteen fruits. With 
our American cousins we may now say there are two kinds of Tomatoes— Carters’ Sunrise and all the others.”—

Sil* Edmund Lodcr’s HGctd GcLrdGnci** says : — “ This is a very fln©

heavy cropper in pots and also planted out, both in and out of doors.” — Mr, W. A. Cook, The Gardens, 
Leonardslee. 
The Right Hon. Walter Long’s Head Gardener says:— “Carters’ 
Sunrise has proved a splendid acquisition, so easy to set and free In cropping. I predict 
a large inquiry for it among all classes of growers. Gardeners visiting here have been much impressed with 
It.’ — Mr. W. Strugnall, The Gardens, Rood, Ashton. 
“ I had a packet of your Sunrise Tomato last year, and the Crop We had OUtSlde WaS CnormOUS.” 
— Mr. W. Stark, The Gardens, Frittenden House, February 2ls(, 1907. 
“ It is the finest all-round variety that I have ever grown. It 1 as in a marlced degree every good 
quality, either as an earl.y indoor or later variety for outdoor borders, and what is more 
remarkable, its quality remains the same. I had plants growing on a scmlh border with 10 bunches of 
fruit, average 10 to 12 fruits on each bunch; the bunches Overlapped each Other from a few 
inches of the ground-level to the top. Everyone said that they were the finest they had ever seen. 
All the other seeds gave great satisfaction.” — Mr. D. Burridoe, Head Gardener to Newton T. Whitworth, Esq.,
