CARTERS FIELD TURNIP SEEDS. 
YELLOW FLESH, PURPLE TOP. 
The greatest care and attention has been paid to the ennobling of the Carter Strains 
of Turnip and the varieties here offered will be found to possess the maximum of dry or 
solid matter wherein lies the value of the root for feeding. 
RAPIDITY OF GROWTH AND EARLY IVIATURITY are other important 
points which have been accentuated in Carters Hybrid Turnips. 
Carters Hybrid Turnips were included in the Collection of Roots which won the 
CHAMPION PRIZE at the LONDON DAIRY SHOW, 1910, and have been 
awarded several FIRST PRIZES at the leading Root Shows. 
This Hybrid Turnip is most valuable to growers on account of the rapidity of its growth. If sown early 
in April, it would be ready for Michaelmas feeding, an important point to remember when the provision 
of autumn food for the flock is under consideration. 
A counterpart of the Green-top, but with a purple skin. Ennobled strain. 
It is very largely grown in the North, as it is well adapted to growing in bleak, cold districts or where 
Swedes would fail. Indeed, the extreme hardiness of this type of Turnip is the reason of its being often 
regarded a.s the mainstay of the root food given to stock during the winter and spring. 
NOTE. — In order to secure a continuous supply of roots for the whole year round. Carters First Crop 
Purple-toj) should be sown first, followed by Carters Champion Green-top and Carters Champion Purple-top 
Hybrids in the order mentioned.
