221 Carters Holbom Exhibition. — A very fine strain, the result 
of many years’ careful selection. Its points for size, colour, and 
productiveness are good all round. Besides being largely grown 
in private gardens, it is a special favourite with many of the best 
known market growers. It is of medium height with large solid 
sprouts. The Royal Horticultural .Society’s report reads:— 
“Carters New Exhibition.— Plants 2 ft. high, sturdy, producing 
a mass of medium-sized hard sprouts from base to crown.” 
223 Carters Perfection. —Perfection in every way. A standard 
variety for general use, producing large and firm sprouts in 
great abundance. As a late Sprout it is much appreciated. It is 
a taller growing variety than our Exhibition strain.

CABBAGE _T/ie Cultivation of Cabbage.- For plants of 
" the early varieties sow the seec t u January or 
February, under glass, and prick out into flats oi frames about 
2 in. apart each way. Transplant to the open ground as soon in 
the spring as the land can be properly prepared. The plants 
should be placed from l£ ft. to 2 ft. apart in rows, which should 
be at least 2 ft. apart. They should be kept well cultivated, and 
during drought should be thoroughly irrigated if this is possible. 
The plants do best in a rich, warm, fibrous soil. The seed of the 
late Cabbage should be sown in drills in the open ground during 
April and May and transplanted in June or July, leaving more 
room between the plants than was allowed for the early sorts. 
1 oz. of Cabbage seed will produce about 3,000 heads. 4 oz. will 
plant an acre.

Prizes were reported to us by our customer* last season.
