CARROT 
Hints on Successful Cultivation. For the production of early 
crops of Carrots in frames a commencement may be made under 
glass in November, followed by successional sowings every three or 
four weeks until February. Early sowings out-of-doors should be 
made on a warm border, and the seed may be got in at the first 
favorable opportunity. The drills may be from six to nine inches 
apart. For main crops select a deep soil which was well manured in 
the previous season. Sow in April or May in drills, mixing the seed 
with dry earth, the distance between the rows to be eight to twelve 
inches, according to the sort; cover the seed with a sprinkling of fine 
earth. Thin the plants early, but not to the full distance in the first 
instance. Sowings of early varieties made in July will give delicate 
little Carrots during the autumn and winter. 
Early Variety For Frames and Outdoors 
6221. Sutton’s Champion Scarlet Horn. A remarkably fine Carrot, 
cylindrical in shape, and almost entirely free from the core usually 
found in this vegetable. Flesh deep red, tender and delicate in 
flavor. Length 4 or 5 inches; matures very early. Per oz., 45c 
Main Crop Varieties 
6285. Sutton’s New Red Intermediate. This superb type of Inter¬ 
mediate Carrot has quite superseded the ordinary variety in gar¬ 
dens where the finest vegetables are grown. Skin clear, bright in 
color, and the flesh close in texture, with very small core. 
Per oz., 45c. 
6281. Sutton’s Favorite. Strongly recommended for general use in 
private gardens. Best described as a stump-rooted form of our 
Scarlet Intermediate. Excellent in flavor and quality.

Sutton's All The Year Round Cauliflower 
Sutton's Favorite Carrot 
CAULIFLOWER 
Early Varieties Suitable For Forcing and Early Summer Use 
6411. Sutton’s First Crop. The earliest Cauliflower in cultivation. 
This superb little variety, with its dwarf compact habit and small 
number of leaves, is an ideal Cauliflower for forcing. It succeeds 
best from a September sowing, wintering the plants under glass 
and transferring to the open in spring. Choice heads may also be 
obtained from sowings made in heat in January and February, it 
planted out on a deep, rich, moist soil. Per pkt., 70c. 
6413. Sutton’s Magnum Bonum. Unsurpassed for the spotless purity 
of its close, firm heads. Sowings may be made in heat during Jan¬ 
uary and February, and again in March and April. The best re¬ 
sults, however, are obtained by sowing in September and trans¬ 
planting in February or March. Very largely grown as a suc¬ 
cession to Sutton’s First Crop. Per pkt., 70c. 
6416. Sutton’s Purity. This fine Cauliflower has a special value for 
the long time the heads remain in prime condition—longer, in 
fact, than those of any other early or midseason variety. The 
heads are large, close, of the choicest quality, and come ready for 
cutting about the same time as our Magnum Bonum. Sow as 
recommended under Magnum Bonum. Per pkt., 70c. 
6421. Sutton’s White Queen. In habit the plant is dwarf and com¬ 
pact, and produces a most beautiful white head, in size equal to 
the best autumn Cauliflowers; ready for use almost, if not quite, 
as early in the season as our Magnum Bonum and Purity. Stands 
drought well. P er 45c. 
6426. Sutton’s All The Year Round. A very fine type of Cauliflower, 
suitable for sowing in spring or autumn. It produces a large white 
head of splendid quality, with neat, compact habit of growth, and 
the crop makes a valuable succession to our White Queen. Can 
be strongly recommended for private gardens. Per pkt., 70c.
