1095 The Carter.— A superb long-stander, with rich deep-green 
leaves. This fine Spinach was sent for trial to the Royal 
Horticultural Society, and was given an Award of Merit. Our 
photograph illustrates in a remarkable manner the solid sub- 
stance of the leaves ; and the whole plant, which is very fine in 
colour is of far greater duration than ordinary Spinach.

1 * 1 - Puke Q’f York, Carters. — Awarded the First Class Certificate 
f, he 3 oyal Horticultural Society ; included in three Gold Medal 
Collections during 1914. This grand variety still holds a very 
high position in public favour. Colour rich scarlet, splendid 
cropper, almost globular in shape; flesh very firm, fine flavour. 
A leading feature of this superb variety is that it ripens its fruit 
with the most pronounced uniformity, whilst the profusion of 
clusters, averaging six and ten evenly-formed fruit each, makes 
it conspicuously handsome. These clusters contain variously 
sized fruits, large mid medium, both for the table and exhibition. 
It can be grown in the open, but does not ripen so quickly as our 
Outdoor variety. Invaluable as ail exhibition variety ns for 
private growers and market purposes. :ts First Frizes reported 
during 1919. (See Photograph.)
