days earlier than others. Large white head, solid, and good size.

drop, plant in open ground middle of May, and the first heads will 
be ready by the end of June. The leaves protect the head from 
the summer sun. 
395 Carters Defiance Forcing. — This superb variety is, without 
doubt, one of the fipeat forcing varieties ever introduced; produces 
fine solid heads. 
398 Snowball. — This is an old, well-known variety which we can 
strongly recommend. It is valuable for forcing under glass for 
a winter crop, and equally valuable for outdoor work, and conse- 
quently much esteemed by both private and market growers.

404 Carters Extra Early Autumn Giant.— This magnificent Cauli- 
flower is more dwarf, considerably earlier, and in every respect 
better than the old Autumn Giant. It produces enormous snow- 
white heads, and is admitted to be the largest and the earliest of 
the giant forms that are of such value during September and 
October. We have many reports of Prizes having been won with 
this variety.

Y Cultural Hints. — For earliest crop sow in February 
* under glass or on a mild hotbed. Prick out on 
bottom heat when ready and transfer to trenches in May or June. 
For main crop sow in March or April, and in June or July, when 
plants are large enough, transplant to trenches, preparing the 
same by bottoming with good rich loam. Water liberally during 
July and August; earth up gradually during August and Sep- 
tember. Lift late in November, and for winter storage place 
upright on damp soil in a cellar or root house. Pack closely.

424 Carters Solid Ivory. — One of the most remarkable features 
of Carters Solid Ivory Celery is its extreme dwarf compact habit 
and beautiful white colour. If the heads are tied with a little 
rough matting, the same as with Cos Lettuces, it will assist not 
only in keeping the Celery perfect, but also to exclude super- 
abundant moisture Many prizes awarded this variety. 
434 Golden Self Blanching. — The best early variety, largely 
grown for early market. Stalks solid and crisp, with a nutty 
flavour.
