Fletcher’s Ideal Carrot. It is quite coreless, and has tender, almost transparent flesh of rich colour. This is a new carrot of French origin, which we have pleasure in offering, as we believe it to be one of the iinest high-class varieties where quality is the main consideration. Although it has fine leaves, “The Ideal Carrot” is a quick and vigorous grower, and will be found to be the ideal carrot either for householder or for the market gardener who wishes to supply products of extra good quality. 6d per packet. Toogood’s Ten Weeks Cabbage, A very early and quick developing cabbgae., Compact, and mild flavour. Once grown—always grown. 6d and 1/- per packet. Cheltenham Green Leaved Beet. Specially Selected Stock. —This variety has dark red flesh, and is free from earthy taste that spoils some varieties. This very fine stock is the result of long endeavours by the grower to produce a perfect type, and is quite distinct from the stocks usually offered under this name. Try a packet—and you will grow no other. 6d per packet. New Globe or Turnip-rooted Parsnip. Round, flat, short leaved-—A worthy companion to the great Marrowfat Parsnip, which has found a most wonderful sale. Grows quickly and its pure white flesh is firm and tender. On account of its very short foliage, this Parsnip requires considerably less room, and therefore yields larger crops than the stronger leaved varieties. Very suitable for planting in shallow soil. 6d ] per packet. Bean, Blue Podded or Blue Wonder. t Grows similar to Canadian Wonder, but a heavier cropper. Pods are striking deep blue colour; when boiled become a deep green colour, and are of excellent flavour. Will stand a heavier frost than other varieties; also, not infected by insect pests. In fact, once grown—always grown. 6d per pkt; 1/9 lb. Luther Burbank’s Tomato. This Tomato is one of Burbank s, which speaks for , itself. Earliest of Earlies —seven to ten days ahead of others.
