CARTERS' NEW METHOD 



IN THE SELECTION OF 



ROOT CROPS FOR SEED. 



AN IMPORTANT DEPARTURE FOR 



THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. 



"VVe have installed our analyst's laboratory with a combination of apparatus which 

 has never previously been tried, including some of the most highly finished and perfect 

 instruments obtainable, either in this country or on the Continent. By these means 

 we are enabled to make analyses of the Roots reserved for Seed, without destroying 

 them for planting purposes, a test which gives to those Roots surviving the ordeal a 

 standard of quality unapproachable by those selected by any other conceivable method.
