365 Long Forcing, Carters (id.— A dainty long Carrot (small), 
with the; same depth of colour and firmness of texture in its 
earliest stages as other Carrots possess in their later growths.

we possess, and when better known it is sure to be extensively 
grown. "It is the quickest variety that I know of. and makes 
No.

coming into use early in the year, and for exhibition, it is an 
acquisition.” — K. B. in Gardeners' Chronicle. ( See Photograph .)

" Carters Forerunner Cauliflower is a marvel. I cut fine heads

in the open in 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
