" 1 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.”— J ames Gough, The Gardens. Hilton 
Grange.

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 
Leamington 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 379 First Prizes having been won by customers.

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 Lettuces, it will 
assist not only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to 
exclude superabundant moisture. We have records of no less 
than -492 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 
Large Gold Medal. Heads of Carters Solid Ivory were con-
