CARTERS HOLBORN ELEPHANT SWEDE 
A heavy croppings Purple Top Swede of the hig-hest feeding value. 
It is now several years since we introduced this fine Purple Top Swede, and it has, during 
that time, acquired a large popularity amongst Agriculturists and Flockmasters, both on 
account of the heavy crops which may be grown, often averaging from 60 to 80 tons per 
acre, and also by reason of its suitability for folding. 
The root grows well out of the ground, is always sound and solid, and the variety 
adapts itself to almost any soil. Each year we receive numerous flattering reports from 
growers as to the advantages of our Holbor-n Elephant Swede, and we believe that 
this now shares with our Holborn Invicta Swede the reputation of being the most popular 
Swede grown. 
This fine Swede has been awarded over 30 First Prizes during the past year, and still 
remains one of the best sorts for exhibition, feeding, or keeping.
