A Swede that is 

 Disease Resisting 



AT a time when the pests and diseases of farm crops 

 ■'*^ are becoming an ever-growing menace, the qualities of 

 certain varieties of Swedes with regard to disease-resistance 

 should receive serious attention. For this reason the marked 

 resistance of Carton's "Superlative" Swede is of the utmost 

 importance to every Farmer. 



It was the resistance of Carton's "Superlative" Swede 

 to Club Root, or Finger and Toe, that first brought it under 

 prominent notice. The discovery was made at the Moun\ahaki 

 State Farm. It has been borne out by experience at the Ruakura 

 Farm and in the chief root-growing districts of the Dominion. 

 This opinion speaks for itself. Mr. Gillanders, late Manager of 

 the Moumahaki State Farm, states — 



" Again the same two varieties turned out to be largely 

 resistant, more especially the "Superlative," which 

 showed little or no sign of being attacked by the malady, 

 while many of the other varieties were completely destroyed. 

 For three seasons the " Superlative " has resisted the 

 disease." 



Carton's "Superlative" Swede 



is unquestionably the most popular 

 Swede grown in New Zealand. 



Yields up to 80 tons per acre have been obtained.
