A NEW LETTUCE. 
CARTERS’ PERPETUAL. 
This is a large handsome Cabbage Lettuce, equally suitable 
for forcing and for open ground. Its great 
wn\/Fi tv ° 1 ° 
attraction to us is its resistance to drought. It 
withstood the great heat m July last when all other Lettuces 
began to bolt, and we took the photograph tor our illustration 
at the end of August. 
It produces very fine heads of a lively green colour, and 
retains its crisp and tender flavour to the last, its deeply crumpled 
leaves giving it great substance. 
We exhibited it before the Royal Horticultural Society with 
a large collection of other varieties last summer. The Gardeners' 
Magazine, reporting the exhibition, says:—“Carters’ Perpetual is 
a large and substantial variety that is of more than ordinary 
merit.” 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Endive-Leaved Lettuce .-This 
Lettuce is quite distinct. Its leaves arc deeply serrated and laciniated, 
which gives it the appearance of Endive—indeed, a prominent gardener 
suggested that it might be used in early summer salads, and few could 
tell but that it was Endive. The leaves are very palatable and appetising. 
It also proves to be very drought resisting. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. per packet. 
Carters’ Longstander »—A Distinct and Valuable 
Variety. — From its peculiar habit of growth it is less liable to decay 
and damage than other cabbage varieties. The colour of the leaf is pale 
lemon-green; it is prettily fringed, and of most delicious flavour. We 
exhibited perfect specimens a few seasons back at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s monthly meeting in August, grown from seeds sown on April 5th. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. ; 2 s. 6d. per ounce. 
Carters’ Round-leaved. —A hardy flat-shaped variety 
that is certain to become popular. It can be sown at almost any season, 
and will produce an abundance of crisp and tender leaves. 
In sealed packets, Is. 6d. 
Carters’ Harbinger Forcing. {See lllush alion.) 
—A valuable and distinct addition to the cla^s of early salading Lettuces. 
For the salad bowl in a cut state there is none superior to Harbinger. 
In sealed packets, price Is. 6d. ; 2 s. 6d. per ounce.
