1157 Carters Little Marvel .— A New Early White Turnip.— 
A cross between Early White Milan and Jersey Lily. This is 
a highly re-selected stock, the tendency to flatness in some of 
the roots having been entirely eradicated, the tops are small 
and compact. It is undoubtedly the quickest white globe- 
shaped Turnip in cultivation. Flesh crisp and solid, and. as 
aptly described by one of our customers, is a little marvel." 
Very distinct in both habit and foliage, and is a splendid table 
Turnip. The Royal Horticultural .Society, reporting from its 
trials at Wisley, says: — “Carters Tittlic Marvel Turnip.— 
White, round, handsome; foliage short and sturdy. A very 
early variety that should be valuable for forcing.” This 
remarkable cross-bred Turnip closely follows the Milan, and is 
considerably forwarder than Jersey Lily. It has become 
popular with gardeners for early work, as it is as good as it 
looks. 35 First Prizes reported during 1914, and included in
