1158 Early Long Forcing, Carters (F).— Quite a distinct 
Turnip for frame or outdoor work. Pure white flesh, and of a 
most delicate flavour. It matures very rapidly, and is fit for 
table sooner than any other Turnip. Award of Merit, R.H.S., 
for roots sown in cold frame March 6th and exhibited May 8th. 
During 1921 this fine introduction was included in four Exhibits 
of our Vegetables in different parts of the country, and awarded 
four Gold Medals, and two large Challenge Cups. (See Photo-

1157 Little Marvel, Carters. — A New Early White Turnip. 
A cross between Early White Milan and Jersey Lily. This 
is a highly re-selected stock, the tendency to flatness in some of 
the roots having been entirely eradicated ; the tops are small 
and compact. It is undoubtedly the quickest white globe- 
shaped Turnip in cultivation. Flesh crisis and solid, and, as 
aptly described by one of our customers, “is a little marvel.” 
Very distinct in both habit and foliage, and is a splendid table 
Turnip. The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting from its 
trials at Wisley, says “ Carters Little Marvel Turnip.— 
White, round, handsome ; foliage short and sturdy. A very 
early variety that should be valuable for forcing." This 
remarkable cross-bred Turnip closely follows the Milan, and is 
considerably forwarder than Jersey Lily. It has become 
popular with gardeners for early work, as it is as good as it 
looks. 42 First Prizes reported during 1921, and included in 
four Gold Medal Exhibits. (See Photograph.)

FRENCH INTENSIVE CULTURE. 
One of the great advantages of the French method of intensive cultivation of vegetables under bell glass or m frames is that the produce is 
ready for the kitchen or the table in succession, and at periods of the year when under ordinary cultivation it would not be available. Garden 
produce out of season is always an attraction. For instance. Celery Self-blanching, which requires no banking up. is ready in July and August, 
'l lie following selection is based upon the experience of French tnariiichers, both in b ranee and in this country .
