MARROW PARSNIP. 
A SWEET DEHCATE-FLESHED VARIETY. 
Carters Holborn Marrow {see 
Photograph ). — A truly refined Parsnip. 
When lifted it leaves the ground clean, 
smooth, and well shaped. It is not so 
large in growth as our Maltese, but its 
flavour is unusually marrow-like and 
delicate. Our picture very inadequately 
depicts its merits. 
Price 3d. & fid. per pkt. and is. per oz. 
THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 
reporting its trials at the Experimental 
Grounds, says : — “ Roots thick, handsome, 
and not too large, but Just the size and 
shape a Parsnip should be.” 
” The Holborn Marrtrw Parsnip is the most 
delicious I ever tasted, and it deserves all you 
say about it.”— J. Fkeeman, Esq., Chard, Feb- 
ruaty 26M, 1907. 
"I must tell you that I have pulled your 
Elephant Carrot this year from 2 ft. 6 in. to 3 ft. long. 
The longest I have drawn was just 3 ft.— splendid 
specimens. 1 have had several come to see them, 
and they say they have never seen anything like 
them. 1 have never known defeat since I have 
grown them. They have taken four Firsts up to nov/, 
and six Firsts last year out of my beds. You may 
make use of this if you think fit.”— G. E. Brindley, 
Esq., Hollington, Tean, Stoke-on-Trent. 
Messrs. James Carter & Co. have much 
jileasure in announcing that they have had 
the honour of receiving the Royal Warrant 
of Appointment to 
HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF SIAM. 
They feel sure that their patrons will be 
pleased to know that their seeds have done 
so well in His Siame.se Majesty’s gardens. 
As is their custom when despatching 
seeds through the tropics, great care was 
taken in exhausting the dampness, not only 
from the seeds themselves, but also from 
the packing paper before being finally 
placed in hermetically sealed tins. 
By this special patent process of their 
own the heat and moi>ture of the tropics is 
negatived, and the germ lies dormant until 
the tin is unpacked and the seed sown.
