LETTUCE — Continued 
Carter’s Holborn Standard Lettuce 
Carter’s 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 summers. One hundred and six First Prizes reported during 
the past few seasons. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says: — 
“Carter’s 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, .25 per pkt. ; .65 per oz. 
Carter’s Perpetual. — Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. This is a large, handsome heading 
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: — 
“Carter’s Perpetual. — Foliage beautifully curled; a fine stock.” 
Price, .15 per pkt.; .65 per oz.
