TOMATO. 
Cultivation. Sow seed in February and March, and transplant into pots to harden off, afterwards plant out against a south wall in good soil ; or they may be 
planted in a warm border, and carefully staked to keep the plants and fruit from straggling on the earth. If cultivated in pots the treatment should be the same, with 
the addition that liberal waterings of manure and rain-water will be found necessary, especially during the hottest part of the summer. (See also Carters’ Practical 
Gardener, price is. ; post free , is, 3d.) 
Carters’ Outdoor Tomato (See Illustration). —The best 
for culture in the open air, and a long- way ahead of others. 
The annexed photograph will give a good idea of its prolific character, 
together with the very fine appearance of the individual fruits. The picture 
was taken by our own artist in the gardens at Castlemead, Windsor, 
during the past summer. Mr. W. Brewer, the head gardener, writes : — 
“ Mr. Dunn, foreman in Her Majesty’s gardens at Frogmore, called to 
see them, and said he had never seen such a sight. I had already taken 
200 lbs. off before he saw them.” 
“ I planted 7,000 of Carters’ Outdoor Tomato and found them sturdier, earlier, and 
more prolific than any others Some plants bore over 70 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 
1 he 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.

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.

Carters’ Blenheim Orange •—We raised and introduced this extra¬ 
ordinary 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. 
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. 
CartGrS 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’ OUTDOOR TOMATO. 
This variety readily fruits under the warmth of a south wall, or

influence of the sun is felt.

CartGrS CrGGn^a^G.—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.
