CARTERS MALTESE PARSNIP. 
A SUPE.RB GIANT PARSNIP FOR EXHIBITION OR TABLE USE. 
Carters Maltese (see Photograph). — We hold records of 
472 First Prizes having been taken during the past few 
seasons for this fine Parsnip, which was also included in the 
l'iist and Champion Prize Exhibit of Vegetables, Shrewsbury, 1912, 
and also the Large Gold Medal Exhibit at the same Show. We 
are confident in stating that this highly selected strain cannot be 
surpassed, either for size or flavour ; the roots, which attain to a 
veiy 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 ; 9d. per ounce. 
Youp seeds turned out splendidly last year ; I had wonderful 
crops, some of the Maltese Parsnips weighed 4 lhs. 2 02s. each and 
were quite sweet and succulent, not a hit strong in consequence of the size.” — - 
Mrs. Phillips. 
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.
