394 Carters Early Emperor.— A superb strain for the early 
summer. A giant Cauliflower for outdoor work, coming in mid¬ 
way between Carters Forerunner and Carters Autumn Giant. 
The Royal Horticultural .Society’s report reads“ Carters Early 
Emperor.— Plants dwarf, sturdy, with semi-protecting foliage; 
heads medium to large in size, firm, and of excellent shape.” 
398 8nowball. This is fin old, well known variety which we can 
strongly recommend to the American gardener. It is valuable 
for forcing under glass for a winter crop, and equally valu¬ 
able for outdoor work, and consequently much esteemed by 
both private and market growers. It has a compact, upright 
habit, and forms fine white, hard heads. Sow under glass in 
February, transplant after frost for cutting in June, or sow out of 
doors in the third week in May and transplant in July. 
405 Carters Mont Blanc.— Magnificent snow-white heads, well- 
protected by the leaves; one of the best for soils of a heavy, or 
retentive nature.

of the Erfurt Cauliflower; almost as early as the Snowball , 
producing very solid, pure white heads of the very finest quality «

424 Carters Solid Ivory.— One of the mo9t 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. We have records of no less than 411 First 
Prizes awarded this variety during the past few seasons in open
