Carters’ Outdoor Tomato. —We made an important 
trial in our Experimental Ground at Mortlake during the past 
summer of all the varieties of Tomatoes recommended in one 
direction and another, for culture, in the open air, and we found 
our own speciality a long way ahead of others in its suitability for 
this purpose It was not only the most robust in habit, but was 
the first to come into flower—the first to bear ripe fruit. The 
annexed photograph will give a good idea of its prolific character, 
together with the very fine appearance of the individual fruits. 
“I planted 7,000 of Carters’ Outdoor Tomato and found 
them sturdier, earlier, and more prolific than any others. 
Some plants bore over seventy marketable fruit.” 
H. F. JULIAN, Esq., Devon. 
Tomato, Carters’ Outdoor. —“To those who are dependent on outdoor- 
grown Tomatoes for the bulk of their crop I can strongly recommend Carters’ 
Outdoor, as being the earliest to ripen out of many now being tested. The 
season is advanced by at least a couple of weeks by its use.”—J. C. T., 
in The Garden. 
Outdoor Early Tomatoes. —“On July 3rd I gathered a good dish of 
Tomatoes from plants put out on a south border, and trained up a stake just as 
we grow Dahlias. I have put out several well-known varieties, and all are doing 
well, but first and foremost are Carters’ Outdoor, the earliest and best Tomato 
for growing outside I have ever seen.”—W. A. C. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Perfection. —Quite distinct from, and immeasurably 
superior to, any other variety named Perfection already in commerce. It is 
very handsome in form, somewhat resembling Dedham Favourite, but very distinct 
in colour, exceedingly prolific, and of exquisite flavour. 
In seal'd packets, price 2s. per packet. 
Carters’ Blenheim Orange .—We raised and introduced 
this extraordinary Tomato, a curious cross between the red and yellow. In 
colour the fruit may be described as like the setting sun—a happy combination 
of translucent scarlet and yellow. Gathered when quite ripe, they are luscious 
and juicy, and the nearest approach to the flavour of a plum. It contains but 
very few seeds, a point in its favour as. a dessert fruit. 
“ I have grown Carters’ Blenheim Orange Tomato for two years, and I 
consider it the most deliciously flavoured Tomato in cultivation. I have 
grown nearly every advertised variety. It is also very robust, and a fine 
setter.”—J. E. T. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Sandwich Island. —A most distinct variety, unique in 
form, colouring, and general character. As a Tomato for long journeys or rough 
handling it is unequalled, the skin being so remarkably firm that it may be packed 
with far greater ease and security than the general run of market Tomatoes. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Dedham Favourite. —A well-known and deservedly 
popular variety. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per packet. 
Carters’ Market Favourite. -a variety very much needed in 
the market, being very early, of medium size, good shape and colour. It 
possesses remarkably free setting properties. First Prize Newbury, 1897. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per packet. 
Carters’ Greengage. —Introduced by us, and the first of the yellow 
section of any value. The rich golden-coloured, semi-transparent fruit so nearly 
represent Plums as to be frequently mistaken for the latter at the exhibitions. 
Awarded a First-Class Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society.
