RED VARIETIES.

1 1 12 Duke of York, Carters. — Awarded the First Class Certificate 
of the Royal Horticultural Society ; included in three Gold Medal 
Collections during 1914. This grand variety still holds a very 
high position in public favour. Colour rich scarlet, splendid 
cropper, almost globular in shape ; flesh very firm, fine flavour. 
A leading feature of this superb variety is that it ripens its fruit 
with the most pronounced uniformity, whilst the profusion of 
clusters, averaging six and ten evenly-formed fruit each, makes 
it conspicuously handsome. These clusters contain variously 
sized fruits, large and medium, both for the table and exhibition. 
It can be grown in the open, but does not ripen so quickly as our 
Outdoor variety. Invaluable as an exhibition variety as for 
private growers and market purposes. 32 First Prizes reported 
during 1915. (See Photograph.)
