PRIZES. 
The system we originated last season, of establishing public trials with the 
produce of our Vegetable and Flower Seeds at Horticultural Exhibitions in various 
parts of the Country against all comers, has been a great success. Space will not 
permit an extended report, but we give below sufficient particulars to convince the 
most exacting cultivator that CARTERS’ TESTED SEEDS maintain their reputation 
as Prize-winners all over the United Kingdom.

CONDITIONS OF 
MESSRS. CARTERS’ CASH PRIZES FOR 1900. 
JAMES CARTER & CO., The Queen’s Seedsmen, 237, 238, & 97, High Holborn, London, undertake, upon 
being furnished with certified evidence from the Secretary of any Horticultural Society in the United Kingdom, to 
duplicate First, Second, or Third Money Awards made to the exhibitors who show the products of Seeds and Potatoes, 
from purchases made by the exhibitor from this Catalogue above 10s. in value, and obtained direct from 
Messrs. Carters’ Establishment during the twelve months ending June 30th, 1900. The said duplication will be 
limited to the value of the purchase, but exhibits of exceptional merit will be treated with liberality at the option 
of Messrs. Carter. 
The products to be of the exhibitor’s own growth, and in case of any dispute as to purchase, &c., an invoice of 
the seeds purchased must be produced if required, and the specimens are to be staged in accordance with the 
regulations of the Society. This offer does not apply to special prizes offered by Firms and other Patrons. 
Example.- — If ios. or 205. are offered by the Society as Prizes for, say, the best dish of Peas, James Carter & Co. will award an equal amount if their customer gains 
one or other of them, providing his purchase extends to ios. or 20s., and that he has carried out the above conditions. 
Customers intending to claim the advantages of these Special Prizes must notify the fact to us a fortnight before the day of the 
Show, stating the names of the Vegetables, Potatoes, or Flowers they intend to stage, when we will send neatly-printed cards, which must be 
exposed to view o n the exhibit during the whole time of the Show. We shall also send a voucher showing the applicant bow far the 
value of our Cash Prizes will apply to him, and also a sheet on which to record his prizes to save the Secretary unnecessary work. 
IMPORTANT.—lf this offer does not appear in the Prize Schedule of the Horticultural Show in the intending 
Competitor’s district, it must be considered cancelled; but we are always pleased to hear from our Customers of 
their intention to compete, and in the event of their winning prizes, we may decide to give them an honorarium 
for their trouble. We invite our Customers to bring this novel form of Prizes to the notice of their local 
Horticultural Society. 
These Prizes are open to all Messrs. Carters’ Customers, but not available to Market Growers, Seedsmen, 
Nurserymen, or Horticultural Traders. 
CARTERS’, 237, 238, & 97, HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON.—1900.
