The Gold Medal and t 6 Silver 
Medals were awarded to produce from 
Carters Tested Seeds, Colombo, 1912 
(open to all Ceylon). 
Collections carefully arranged and 
suitably packed for all climates. By 
our special patent process of exhaust- 
ing the dampness (not only from the 
seeds themselves, but also from the 
Packing Paper) the heat and 
moisture of the Tropics is negatived, and the germ lies dormant until the tin is unpacked and the 
Carters Holborn Marrow Parsnip. 
CARTERS HOLBORN 
MARROW PARSNIP. 
A SWEET DELICATE- 
FLESHED VARIETY. 
Carters Holborn Marrow 
(see Photograph). — A truly refined 
Parsnip. When lifted it leaves the 
ground clean, smooth, and well 
shaped. It is not so large in 
growth as our Maltese, but its 
flavour is unusually marrow-like 
and delicate. Our picture very 
inadequately depicts its merits. 
The Royal Horticultural 
Society, reporting its trials at the 
Experimental Grounds, says : — 
“ Roots thick, handsome, and not 
too large, but just the size and 
shape a Parsnip should be.” 
6d. per packet; is. per ounce. 
The Holborn Marrow Parsnip is 
the most delicious I ever tasted, and it 
deserves all you say about it.” — J. Frf.f.man, 
Esq. 
“ I use no other seeds than yours 
for my showing purposes, and am pleased 
to be able to tell you that I have had 
very excellent results up lo the present. 1 
have recently taken up a carrot grown 
from your Red Elephant seed 2 ) lbs. in 
weight.”— L. W. II. Whf.rleu, Esq.
