PARSNIP — Continued 
Carter’s Holborn Marrow 
Parsnip 
A Sweet Delicate-Fleshed Variety. 
Carter’s 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 mar- 
row-like and delicate. Our 
picture very inadequately de- 
picts 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.” 
Price, .15 per pkt. ; .25 per oz-. ; 
.90 per lb. 
“ The Holborn Marrow Parsnip is the 
most delicious I ever tasted, and it de- 
serves all you say about it.” — J. Freeman, 
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 to the present. 1 
have recently taken up a carrot grown 
from your Red Elephant seed pounds 
in weight.” — L. W. H. Wheeler, Esq.
