FRAME CUCUMBER. 
We conducted an important trial of Cucumbers quite recently and could not find anything superior in 
either shape or colour to the leading kinds we now offer. 
The Cultivation of Frame Cucumber. Sow in a pot or pan during February or March in heat for Summer use, keeping the seed-pan shaded from strong light until 
die seedlings appear, then transplant to well-prepared hot-bed, or other position, when the plants are sufficiently established. If intended for cold frame culture 
the plants must not be put out untii all danger of frost is past. Sow again in September for winter use. {See also Carters’ Practical Gardener for full 
information on the culture of Cucumbers ; price is., post free is. j ’d.)

THE BEST ALL THE YEAR ROUND CUCUMBER. 
Carters’ Earliest of All • After conducting a careful trial of all the best known varieties of Cucumber, we have proved 
this to be by far the quickest finishing variety. It produced perfect fruit nine days in advance of all others. It is of good colour, 
handsome form, and fine quality on the table all the year round. 
In sealed packets, 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Cardiff Castle • —Awarded a Cultural Commendation by the Royal Horticultural Society. It has taken First Prizes in all parts of 
the country, and is invaluable either for Summer or Winter work. The fruit is of a rich emerald colour, perfect in form, growing to a length of about 18 inches. 
It is remarkably free-bearing, producing three to four fruits at a single joint. It is wonderfully hardy, and not liable to disease. A Correspondent in The 
Garden describes it as the best Cucumber raised since Telegraph. 
In sealed packets, 2s. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Improved Telegraph. —Unquestionably one of the most prolific and best Winter Cucumbers; indispensable for
