CARTERS MALTESE PARSNIP. 
A SUPERB GIANT PARSNIP FOR EXHIBITION OR TABLE USE. 
Carters Maltese (see Photograph ). — We hold records of 
389 First Frizes having been taken during the past few 
seasons. 
We are confident in stating that this highly selected strain 
cannot be surpassed, either for size or flavour ; the roots which 
attain to a very large size being quite as tender and sweet flavoured 
as most varieties which do not reach one-half the size. 
Price 3d. and 6d. per packet ; pd. per ounce. 
“Your seeds turned out splendidly last year; I had wonderful crops, some 
of the Maltese Parsnips weighed 4 lbs. 2 ozs. each and were quite sweet and 
succulent, not a bit strong in consequence of the size.” — Mrs. Phillips, 
Rathfarnham. 
“ I am pleased to tell you that I have been very successful with your seeds. 
On Thursday last I took 25 First and 12 Second Prizes. I think your Maltese 
Parsnips can’t be matched for Exhibition. I grew them 5 feet long, beautifully 
clean. Your Model Leek is also a splendid one for Exhibition.” — Mr. A. E. 
Burge, The Gardens, Manor House, Charmouth.
