THE VERY BEST VARIETY IS 
EARL’S FAVOURITE, 
Awarded a First Class Certificate, Royal Horticultural Society. 
GREEN-FLESH MELON, carters 
THE FINEST FLAVOURED GREEN-FLESH MELON IN CULTIVATION. 
Carters’ Earl’s Favourite Melon is thus described by the raiser, Mr. WARD: — “It is a strong grower, free setter, and may be said to be 
‘canker-resisting.’ It does quite as well in cool frames as in the houses.” Some finely-finished fruits were exhibited before the Fruit Committee of the 
Royal Horticultural Society at the Great Show held at Chiswick Gardens, and unanimously awarded the coveted distinction of a FIRST CLASS 
CERTIFICATE, the highest honour that the Society can bestow. Our Managing Partner, who was for many years a member of the Fruit 
Committee, R.H.S., and who has had 40 years’ experience, pronounces the Earl’s Favourite to be the finest green-flesh Melon he has ever tasted.

Mr. A. PETTIGREW, Head Gardener to The Most Noble The Marquis of Bute, writes, July 30, 1900;--“ You will be pleased to 
learn that I took First Prize at the Cardiff Horticultural Society in the green-fleshed section with Carters’ Earl’s Favourite.” 
Mr. J. WHYTOCK, Head Gardener to His Grace The Duke of Bueeleueh, writes:—“I have the very highest opinion of your Melon 
Earl’s Favourite, having grown it for some years now, and all who see it admire it as a strong grower, free setter, and a beautifully 
netted large fruit. The flavour is of the very best.” 
In sealed packets, price 2s. 6d. and 3s. 6d. each.
