TOMATO-ENGLISH 
VARIETIES. 
The Cultivation of Tomatoes 
—February or March is the 
proper time for starting sea¬ 
sonable 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, and when the plants have reached 
a height of 2 in. transplant to hotbeds or boxes, setting the plants 
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 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 produce wonderful results. The seeds should be started 
late in August for a midwinter crop. 1 oz. of seed will produce 
2,000 to 3,000 plants.

Carters Golden Sunrise.—As in the 
case of its famous prototype, Carters Red 
Sunrise, this splendid yellow variety has 
been awarded the First Class Certificate 
by the Royal Horticultural Society during 
1916—true evidence of its superior qualities. We believe this 
kind has a great future before it; it is a heavy cropper of hand¬ 
some medium-sized fruits. The flavour is remarkably good, 
being slightly more acid than red varieties.

1111 Carters Sunrise.— The finest Tomato for indoor or outdoor 
cultivation. Awarded 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 tp 
the report:—“Tomatoes have reached such perfection that it is 
now very difficult to raise a variety superior to those already in 
commerce. In this trial only one stood out as being of excep¬ 
tional 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.—C ontains very few seeds. 
Its Evenness of Size as a dessert fruit. 
Its Bright Scarlet Colour and rich acid flavour. 
Its Equal Value for Indoor or Outdoor Cultivation. 
Gold Medal, Bristol, 1913; Leamington, 1913; Shrewsbury, 1912. 
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.
