April or even earlier in favourable seasons, when Cabbage forms 
such a valuable addition to the table. The hearts are of perfect 
form and flavour. This choice little variety is practically all

can be used. ( See Photograph ,) Per pkt., -/ 6 and 1/- ; per o/.„ 21-

CARTERS MAINCROP CABBAGE. 
304 Mammoth Beefheart, Carters fSp. A). The finest autumn 
garden Cabbage grown. Each season it becomes more popular, 
and we confidently recommend this highly selected strain as 
being not only the largest, but one with the least tendency to 
bolt. Sown in spring it gives splendid lfeavy heads during 
summer and autumn, or when sown in August fine heads may be 
expected in the late spring. It is much more robust and hardy 
than many of the small varieties now recommended for early 
summer use. 112 First Prizes were reported to us by customers 
during 1919 and 1920. (See Photograph.)

SAVOY CABBAGE. 
33 9 Carterconc. — This small perfectly-shaped Savoy was very 
favourably commented upon when included in our exhibit of 
Hrassicas at the Royal Horticultural Society's Hall, autumn, 1913, 
and the Vegetable Committee recommended it for further trial at 
Wisley. The heart is a perfect cone in shape, whilst its absolute 
freedom from coarseness ensures its success for table use. 
Carterconc is a very refined type. Although maturing early, it 
stands over a very long period and is not liable to burst, as are 
many of the ordinary types. (See Photograph.)
