TOMATO— ENGLISH VARIETIES. 
The Cultivation of Tomatoes.— About the last week in February or the first week in March is the proper time for starting seasonable 
plants. The plants can be started in greenhouses, hotbeds, window boxes, or most any sunny spot where the temperature is never below 
60 degrees. Sow the seed lightly in rows about 5 in. apart, and when the plants have reached a height of 2 in. transplant to other hotbeds or 
boxes, so that the plants are 4 or 5 in. apart each way. May 15th until June 1st is a good period for the transplanting to the open ground. Set the 
plants deeply 4 ft. apart, mixing a good shovelful of well-rotted manure with the hilling soil of each plant ; water freely at this time and protect 
for a few days from the sun during the midday. A clearer-coloured, better-flavoured, and larger fruit will be obtained by training the plants to a 
trellis. Tomatoes are rapidly growing in favour as a greenhouse vegetable, and the forcing varieties do well and show wonderful productions. 
The plants should be started late in August for a midwinter crop. 1 oz. of seed will produce 2,000 to 3,000 plants. 
Carters Golden 8unrise-— Although 
there seems to be a general prejudice 
against yellow Tomatoes, we believe this 
kind has a great future before it. A 
golden prototype of our famous Sunrise, it is a heavy cropper of 
handsome medium-sized fruits. The flavour is remarkably good, 
being slightly more acid than red varieties. “ Tomato Golden 
Sunrise we have grown for the first time this year, and though 
yellow Tomatoes do not become readily popular, this one has 
gained many encomiums from connoisseurs. Its colour is most 
attractive, and flavour satisfying.” — Mr. W. Strugnell, Gardener 
to N. H. Wills. Esq. 
The Tresco.— This variety has attracted 
so much attention at shows and in the 
horticultural press, we have pleasure in 
being able to supply a well-selected stock.

1111 Carters Sunrise. — First Class Certificate. R.H.S.— indoor 
cultivation. F.C.C. confirmed as Outdoor variety after growth at 
Wisley. During 1905 an extensive trial of Tomatoes was made 
by the Royal Horticultural Society, 71 varieties being sent in by 
the leading houses. The only First Class Certificate was given 
to Carters Sunrise, and the following note is attached to the 
report : — " Tomatoes have reached such perfection that it is now 
very difficult to raise a variety superior to those already in com- 
merce. In this trial only one stood out as being of exceptional 
value, viz., Sunrise." It is some time since such a high honour 
has been granted to a Tomato. 
The Chief Points in "Sunrise” are— 
Its Earliness. — It ripens several days earlier than most varieties. 
Its Cropping Properties.— See Photographs and Testimonials. 
Its Healthy and Robust Constitution.— No trace of disease. 
Its Prolific Character.— See Photographs. 
Its Solid but Delicate Flesh.— Contains very few seeds and 
practically no eye. 
Its Evenness of Size as a dessert fruit. 
Its Bright Scarlet Colour and rich acid flavour. 
Its equal value for Indoor or Outdoor Cultivation.

1112 Carters Duke of York. — Awarded the First Class Certificate 
of the Royal 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 and 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 an 
exhibition variety, as for private growers and market purposes.

The Best and Earliest. — "I grew your Sunrise Tomato 
this year, and wish to say that it is the best and earliest Tomato 
I have ever grown. The seeds were sown the same day with four 
other varieties and all treated alike, and I was picking splendid, 
well-formed ripe fruit from your Sunrise plants fifteen days 
earlier than any of the other varieties.”— Alexander Michie, 
Plymouth, Mass. 
Splendid Quality and Flavour. — " We grew fifty plants of 
Sunrise Tomato in pots here. It is a good cropper, sets very 
freely, and bears fine medium-sized fruits of splendid quality and 
flavour.” — Mr. J. Whytock, Head Gardener to his Grace the 
Duke of Buccleuch. 
I Never Saw its Equal.—" A marvellous cropping variety, 
and destined to become the Tomato for market growers especially. 
I never saw its equal for cropping, and the fruits are just the size 
the market growers require — medium, with good appearance and 
no waste.”— Mr. B. Ashton, Head Gardener to the Right Hon. 
the Earl of Lathom. 
Quality is Unsurpassed.— " I have grown your Sunrise 
Tomato since first it came out. and I consider it the best Tomato 
ever sent out. It is earlier than most, no trouble to set. nice 
even size, and very heavy cropper. Above all, the quality is 
unsurpassed.”— Mr. H. W. Blake, Head Gardener to the Right 
Hon. the Earl of Onslow.
