CABBAGE LETTUCE 
Carters Holborn Standard Lettuce. 
Carters Holborn Standard (see Photograph above ). — A Lettuce of extraordinary size and duration. 
It forms well-developed heads in its early stages and is one of the very last to start for seed. Its leaves 
are crumpled and crisp, while it is very tender and of excellent flavour, and will provide an abundance 
of salad during the hottest of English summers. One hundred and six First Prizes reported during the past 
few seasons. The Royai, Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says : — “Carters Holborn 
Standard ; hearts large, solid, crisp, good flavour, with crumpled outer leaves tinged with brown. This 
variety stood the drought well without running to seed.” 
Price is. and is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters Perpetual, — Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. This is a large handsome Cabbage 
Lettuce, equally suitable for forcing and for open ground. Its great attraction to us is its resistance to 
drought. It produces very 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. Sixteen First Prizes reported by customers 
last season. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says: — “Carters 
Perpetual . — Foliage beautifully curled ; a fine stock.” 
Price 6d., is., and is. 6d. per packet; 2 s. 6d. per ounce.
