589 Holborn Standard, Carters. — A Lettuce of extraordinary 
size mid duration. It forms well-developed heads in its early 
stages, and is one of the very last to start for seed. Its 1 saves are 
crumpled and crisp, while it is very tender and of excellent 
flavour, and will provide an abundance of salad during the 
hottest of English summers. 272 First Prizes reported during 
the past few seasons. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting 
its trials at Wisley, says: — "Carters IIolhokn Standard. — 
Hearts large, solid, crisp, good flavour, with crumpled outer 
leaves tinged with brown. This variety stood the drought well 
without running to seed." During 1921 our Iiolborn Standard 
was included in 5 Gold Medal collections at important 
Exhibitions. Award of Merit. R.H.S.. 1920. ( See Photograph.)

598 Perpetual, Carters.— Award of Merit, R.H.S. This is a large 
handsome Cabbage 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. The Royal 
Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says: — 
"Carters Perpetual.— Foliage beautifully curled; a fine 
stock." Per pkt.. -/6, 1/-. and 1/6 ; per oz., 31- 
592 Round-leaved, Carters. — A hardy flat-shaped variety that 
can be sown at almost any season. The heads are very compact 
and firm, solid and white : slow to run to seed. In our own trials 
we have repeatedly seen this variety standing firm when others 
have bolted. This fine Lettuce was included in three Gold Medal 
Exhibits during 1913. Per pkt., — /6. 1/-, and 1/6; per oz.. 2/6 
590 Harbinger Forcing, Carters. — Valuable on account of its 
extreme earliness. It is not a hearting variety, but being of quick 
growth produces a quantity of tender leaves, which are so much 
in request for early salads. Awarded 3 Gold Medals. 1913 and 1914. 
Per pkt.. -/6, 1/-, and 1/6 ; per oz., 31- 
599 Endive-leaved, Carters.,— This Lettuce is quite distinct. 
Its leaves are deeply serrated and laciniated, which gives it the 
appearance of Endive — indeed, a prominent gardener suggested 
that it might be used in early summer salads and few could 
tell that it was not Endive. The Royal Horticultural Society, 
reporting its trials at Wisley, says :—" Carters Endive-leaved. 
— Leaves beautifully cut and divided ; a very handsome variety." 
Per pkt., -I 6, I/-, and 1/6 
591 Green-fringed, Carters. — Of a very delicate and peculiar

our Champion Exhibits at Ipswich and Birmingham, 1921.
