TOMATO—ENGLISH The Cultivation of Tomatoes. 
—February or March is the 
VARIETItOi 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 8ur»rise. —As In the 
case of its • • ••ions prototype. Carters Red 
Satirise, tins 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 8m n rise. — 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 To natoes 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 
reix>rt:—“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.—S ee Photographs. 
Its Solid but Delicate Flesh. —Contains 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.

The Best and Earliest.— “ I grew your Sunrise Tomato 
thisyeai. and wish to say that it is the best and earliest Tomato 
I have evei grown. The seeds were sown the same day with four 
other varieties and all treated alike, and 1 was picking splendid, 
well-formed ripe fruit from your Sunrise plants fifteen days 
earPer than any of the other varieties.”— Alexander Michib, 
Plymouth, Mass. 
I Never Saw its Equal. — “ A marvellous cropping variety, 
and destined toliecome 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 
do waste.”—Mr. B. Ashton, Head Gardener to the Right Hon. 
the Earl of Lathom.
