CARTERS HAND-PICKED SEED POTATOES. 
Our stocks have been grown and selected with the utmost vigilance, and under normal conditions of soil and situation will produce first- 
class crops. Our crops are specially grown for seed purposes ; that is to say. they are not over-fed for the sake of producing enormous tubers. 
They are kept true to name and description, and are not lifted until thoroughly ripe. 
We go to this trouble and expense with a view to making our potatoes as disease-resisting as the season will permit. 
Potato Orders are often held back on account of frost and other risks of lifting and transit, bat we choose the earliest opportunity 
for dispatching, and no unnecessary delay will be occasioned.
