PARSNIP 
[ 66 ] 
Carter’s Maltese Parsnip 
A Superb Giant Parsnip for Exhibition or Table Use 
Carter’s Maltese ( see Photograph). — We hold records of four 
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO FlRST PRIZES HAVING BEEN TAKEN 
DURING THE PAST FEW SEASONS FOR THIS FINE PARSNIP, which 
was also included in the First 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 very large size, being 
quite as tender and sweet flavoured as most varieties which 
do not reach one half the size. 
Price, .10 per pkt. ; .20 per oz.; .75 per lb. 
"Your seeds turned out splendidly last year; I had wonderful crops, some 
of the Maltese Parsnips weighed 4 pounds 2 ounces each and were quite sweet 
and succulent, not a bit 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.

The Cultivation of Parsnip. — Sow the seed early in March as soon as the 
season will permit. The ground should be well manured and deeply trenched, 
the drills about 15 inches apart and the plants thinned out the same distance 
apart. The quality of the roots is improved by allowing them to winter in 
the ground for spring use. One ounce of seed will plant 100 feet of drill; 
5 pounds to the acre.
