rather small, solid, handsome, pure white

WHAT EXPERTS SAY ABOUT IT. 
Carter’s Forerunner Cauliflower 
“Carter’s 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 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. 
“Carter’s Forerunner Cauliflower is a marvel. I cut fine heads 
on June Gth, almost \\ko Autumn Giant." — Mr. W. Humphrey, The 
Gardens, Loampits. • 
Carter’s Early Emperor. — A superb strain for the early 
summer. A giant Cauliflower for outdoor work, coming 
in midway between Carter’s Forerunner and Carter’s 
Autumn Giant. The Royal Horticultural Society’s report 
reads: “Carter’s Early Emperor. Plants dwarf, sturdy, 
with semi-protecting foliage; heads medium to large 
in size, firm, and of excellent shape.” 
Price, .25 per pkt.; 3.50 per oz.; 10.00 per J4 lb. 
Carter’s Defiance Forcing (see small Photograph). — This 
superb variety is, without doubt, one of the finest forcing 
varieties ever introduced; produces fine solid heads.
