TOMATO — Continued 
Carter’s “Sunrise” Tomato 
First-Class Certificate, Royal Horticultural Society — Indoor Cultivation 
F.C.C. confirmed as Outdoor Variety after growth at Wisley 
During 1905 an extensive trial of Tomatoes was made by the Royal Horticultural Society, seventy- 
one varieties being sent in from all the leading houses. The only First-Class Certificate was given to 
Carter’s “Sunrise,” and the following note is attached to the report: — “Tomatoes have reached such 
perfection that it is now very difficult to raise a variety superior to those already in commerce. In this 
trial only one stood out as being of exceptional value, viz., ‘Sunrise.’ ” 
It is some time since such a high honour has been granted to a Tomato.

His Grace The Duke of Northumberland’s late Head Gardener 
says: — "The fruits of Sunrise Tomato I exhibited at the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society's meeting on March 6th were sown in September and 
commenced fruiting in December — grown in six-inch pots. It is a 
splendid winter fruiting variety.” 
His Grace The Duke of Buccleuch’s Head Gardener says: — "We 
grew fifty plants of Sunrise Tomato in pots here. It is a good cropper, 
sets very freely, and bears fine medium-sized fruits of splendid quality 
and flavour.” — Mr. J. Whytock. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Lathom’s Head Gardener says: — "A 
marvellous cropping variety, and destined to become the Tomato for 
market growers especially. I never saw its equal for cropping, and the 
fruits are just the size the market growers require — medium, with good 
appearance and no waste." — Mr. R. Ashton. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Onslow’s Head Gardener says: — "I 
have grown your Sunrise Tomato since first it came out, and I consider 
it the best Tomato ever sent out. It is earlier than most, no trouble 
to set, nice even size, and very heavy cropper; above all, the quality 
is unsurpassed." — Mr. H. W. Blake.
