456 Model, Carters. -Is one of the handsomest Cucumbers grown, 
embodying the fine form and general characteristics of Tender 
and TYne with the prolific habit and strong constitution of the 
Telegraph. Perfect in outline, with scarcely any neck, and of 
fine flavour, this variety has become popular both for exhibition 
and table purposes. Splendid specimens of this fine Cucumber 
were conspicuous in the First and Champion Prize Exhibit of 
Carters Vegetables (open to the world) at Shrewsbury. The Large 
Gold Medal Exhibit at the same Exhibition also contained some 
remarkable fruit of this variety. Gold Medal, York, 1914. 4*2

CHICORY. 
French— C lii cor^e. 
The Cultivation of Chicory .— Chicory is a leading ingredient in French salads, and the plant is so easily cultivated that it should be more 
popular here. The seed is sown in late spring, in a sheltered position on a nice soil, very similar to Carrots, the plants thinned out to about 9 in 
apart, and left to grow on until the end of summer, when the growth will die down, leaving a root somewhat like a Parsnip. These are taken 
into a shed and kept in a heap of soil away from frost, and transferred to a hothouse when needed to produce their blanched heads during winter 
They may also be grown in boxes.

500 Carters Improved Sweet. — This Maize is a favourite Vegetable dish in Canada, aud we are now able to offer an improved type 
acclimatised and saved in this country. The demand is increasing as it is more widely known. The cobs are cooked and served whole, and 
the peculiar sweet nutty flavour is so appreciated that after a trial it will, no doubt, find a permanent place in the kitchen garden. Included 
in 2 Gold Medal Exhibits of Carters Vegetables during 1914. (See Photograph.) Per pkt., — /(>, 1/-, and 1/6
