CARROT— EARLY VARIETIES— Continued. 
No. 
365 Long Forcing, Carters (p). — A dainty long Carrot (small), 
with the same depth of colour and firmness of texture in its 
earliest stages as other Carrots possess in their later growths. 
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 
No. 
but very little top, and the quality is excellent. As a Carrot 
coming into use early in the year, and for exhibition, it is an 
acquisition." — E. B. in Gardeners' Chronicle. ( See Photograph.)

" I 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.”— James Gough, The Gardens, Biltou 
Grange.
