WHAT EXPERTS SAY ABOUT IT. 
“Carters Forerunner Cauliflower was sown on February 1st witli 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 nearly ready. I am much impressed with it, and can congratulate you on it as 
distinct and valuable.” — Edwin Beckett, Head Gardener to the Hon. Vicary Gibbs. 
“ I grew your new Cauliflower in frames along with Snowball , and grown thus it was 8 to 10 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.
