Carters’ Holborn Exhibition. — ( See Illustration.) 
A very fine strain, the result of many years careful 
selection. Its points for size, colour, and productiveness 
are good all round, and it is a special favourite with 
many of our best-known market growers. In Mr. Empson’s 
Gold Medal Collection of Vegetables, Potatoes, &c., at the 
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society in October, 
1896, Carters’ Holborn Exhibition Brussels Sprouts were 
prominently staged and generally admired for their close 
texture and colour.

ADVANTAGE OF GROWING THE BEST. 
Important Testimonial from one of the largest Market Growers in Essex. 
“ December 30th. 
“ I enclose cheque for ^50. The few pounds of Holborn Exhibition Brussels 
Sprouts have proved every word you have said about them, they are large, solid, and 
a splendid colour. I have seven acres, and have been picking this last ten weeks 
and shall keep on right up to March next ; the Sprouts average about 800 pecks per 
acre. I am well pleased with them, for they are the best I ever grew.” 
(Signed) E. J. STEWARD. 
“ Please send another ounce of your fine Sprouts ; I think they are called Exhi- 
bition. They were certainly the best I have ever grown.” — Mr. D. McDONALD 
Head Gardener to Sir Charles Nicholson, Bart. 
“Carters’ Holborn Exhibition Brussels Sprouts stand 2 ft. 6 in. high, and 
are covered with buttons from top to bottom. I have never seen any to equal 
them.”— Mr. J. CHILDS, Herts. 
In our large exhibit at the Royal Aquarium Show, November 4th 
to 6th, 1896, our Holborn Exhibition Brussels Sprouts were pro- 
nounced to be the best ever seen, and largely contributed to the 
Silver Medal that was awarded our House.
