CABBAGE — Continued. 
CARTERS MAINCROP VARIETIES— Continued. 
304 Mammoth Beef heart, Carters (Sp. A).—' The finest autumn 
garden Cabbage grown. Kach 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 heavy 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. 62 First Frizes were reported to us by customers in 
1919. (See Photograph.) 
Per pkt., -/ 6 and 1/- ; per oz.. 1/6 
311 Miniature Drumhead, Carters (Sp). — A small, globular 
shaped garden Cabbage of delicate flavour and good colour. 
Although called Drumhead from its shape, it is quite distinct 
from the field Cabbage. Valuable for small gardens where only 
one sort is grown. The plants may be set very close together.

many of the ordinary types. (See Photograph.)
