1111 Sunrise, Carters .-First Class Certificate. R.H.S.— indoor 
cultivation. F.C.C. confirmed as Outdoor variety after growth 
at Wisley. An extensive trial of Tomatoes was made by the 
Royal Horticultural Society, 71 varieties being sent in by the 
leading houses. The only First Class Certificate was given to 
Carters 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 ex- 
ceptional value, viz., Sunrise. 
It is some time since such a 
high honour has been granted 
to a Tomato." 
Quality is Unsurpassed. — “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. W. II. Flake, Head Gardener to the 
Right Hon. the F.arl of Onslow. 
Finest I Have Seen. — "We have just finished Sunrise. It 
is a capital Tomato, a wonderful setter, fine quality and flavour. 
They are the finest lot I have ever seen."— Mr. K. Beckett. 
Head Gardener to the lion. Vicary Gibbs. 
Your Tomato Sun rise has done splendid ; as a winter cropper 
it has no equal. ’Xiuas week I gathered 30 lbs., to-day have 
gathered 121bs., could easily have gathered a bushel had they 
been required. The fruit is of the richest colour and flavour. 
I wish you could see them. Several people have seen them. Their 
first enquiry is, ‘What is the name ?' "—Mr. J. J. Thompson, 
Gardener to 1 1 is Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Compton Place.

1112 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 caii be grown in theopen. but does not ripen so quickly as our 
Outdoor variety. Invaluable as an exhibition variety as for 
private growers and market purposes. 70 First Prizes reported 
during the past season. ( See Photograph, page 54.)
