SAVOY CABBAGE. 
No. 
Cartercone.- This small perfectly-shaped 
Savoy was very favourably commented 
upon when included in our exhibit of 
Brassicas 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. Cartercone 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.

CARROTS The Cultivation of Carrots. — This vegetable 
w w • does its best in a warm. deep, rather light, 
and fairly fertile soil that is well supplied with humus. Sow the 
seed from April to July in drills I ft. apart, covering the seed i in. 
in depth. A* Hie young plants appear thin out to from 3 to 5 in. 
apart, according to the size of the expected variety. Keep the 
soil well cultivated, as weeds are a sure death to young carrot 
plants. Keep irrigated during droughts if it be possible. 1 ox. 
of seed will plant 100 ft. of drill. 3 to 4 lb. to the acre.

stages as other Carrots possess in tneir later growth. "This 
forcing Carrot is one of the most distinct and valuable that we 
possess, and when better known it is sure to be extensively 
grown. It is the quickest variety that I know of. and makes but 
very little top, and the quality is excellent. As a Carrot coming 
into use early in the year, and forexhibition.it is an acquisition.”
