CARTERS’ ELEPHANT SWEDE IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. 
Carters’ Elephant Swede, as originally introduced by us, is distinct from the Imperials, Champions, and all other 
round varieties offered in this catalogue (see page 38), and it is from this variety that we have selected our New Holborn 
Elephant Swede. 
Carters’ Elephant Swede is a quick grower, robust in habit, and stands well out of the ground. The flesh is a 
rich creamy yellow, and it keeps sound in most localities. The crop is uniform in size, and the rows can be readily 
distinguished when growing in association with other varieties. 
The success of Carters’ Elephant Swede has induced many provincial dealers to offer inferior stocks at a lower 
price calling them Carters’ Elephant Swede, but about which we know nothing. Our own seed is grown carefully each 
year from selected plants under our own supervision, so that the seed of our own saving must be the best. 
Awards of several hundreds of Silver Cups and First Prizes have been made to Carters’ Elephant Swede since 
its introduction in 1887. 
Ask for Carters’ Elephant Swede in Carters’ sealed packets and bags, as this is the only guarantee that the seeo 
emanates from our house. 
New seed tested for germination and purity.
