WHAT EXPERTS SAY ABOUT IT. 
“Carters Forerunner Cauliflower was sown on February 1st with Snowball and another well-known early variety. Planted 
in the open the third week in April, we commenced to cut compact heads on June 7th. None Of the Other varieties 
were near ready. I am much impressed with it, and can congratulate you on it as distinct and valuable.” — Edwin 
Beckett, Head Gardener to the lion. Vicary Gibbs. 
“ I grew your new Cauliflower in frames along with Snowball, and grown thus it was -8 to 1 O days earlier, a closer 
head, and in all respects a better form. A most valuable introduction. I had it also on early borders in the open ” — G. Wythes, 
late Head Gardener to His Grace the Duke of Northumberland.

Giant." — Mr. W. Humphrey, The Gardens, Loampits.
