Ten days earlier than others. I.arge white head, solid, and good 
size. Sow in middle of February, transplant when first leaves 
drop, under glass, plant in open ground end of April or beginning 
of May, and the first heads will be ready by the middle of June.

the First Prize and Champion Kxliibit of Vegetables at Shrews- 
bury, and also a feature of the Targe Gold Medal F'xhibit at 
the same critical meeting. Staged in five Gold Medal F'xhibits 
during 1921 (See Photograph.) Per pkt.,-/6, 1/-, 1/6, and 2/6 
" I have much pleasure in telling you that I have cut about 600 
very nice Cauliflowers from a 1/6 packet of your Forerunner , and 
although they had no rain from the time they were planted out 
until three weeks after they came in ready for use, the heads were 
of good size and the quality excellent. 
I made two batches of them and cut first week in June until 
the last week in July.”— James Gough, The Gardens. Hilton 
Grange. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, 
says : — "Carters Early Forerunner. — A very early variety of 
dwarf, compact habit; sturdy, with rather small, solid, hand- 
some, pure white heads.” 
No. 
395 Defiance Forcing, Carters. — This superb variety is. with- 
out doubt, one of the finest forcing varieties ever introduced; 
produces fine solid heads. In perfection during early summer.

SECOND EARLY VARIETIES. 
404 Extra Early Autumn Giant, Carters. —This magnificent 
Cauliflower is more dwarf, considerably earlier, and in every 
respect better than the old Autumn Giant. It produces 
enormous snow-white heads, and is admitted to be the largest 
and the earliest of the giant forms that are of such value during 
September and October. Our Exhibits of Vegetables at 
Teamington and Bristol. 1913, were awarded Gold Medals, and 
contained some splendid specimens of this variety, whilst the 
Gold Medal Exhibit at Holland House Show was also con- 
spicuous for the very fine heads of this Cauliflower. We have 
records of 415 First Prizes having been won by customers.

The Cultivation of Celery ,— Sow in February on a mild hotbed for earliest crop, to be pricked out on bottom heat when ready, and 
transferred to trenches in June. Sow in March in seed pans for main, and in April for late crop. The trenches should be bottomed with rich 
soil, and the plants liberally watered in August ; earth up gradually during August and September, and commence lifting in November. 
WHITE 
424 Solid Ivory, Carters. — One of the most remarkable features 
of Carters Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact 
habit and beautiful white colour. If the heads are tied with 
a little rough matting, the same as with Cos Tettuees, it will 
assist not only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to 
exclude superabundant moisture. We have records of no less 
than 517 First Prizes awarded this variety during the past few 
seasons in open competition. A feature of our greatly admired 
Exhibit of Vegetables at Cardiff. 1914, which was awarded the
