CARTERS TESTED SEEDS — BOSTON, NEW YORK, TORONTO 
PARSNIP Cultural Hints. — Sow the seed early in March 
" as soon as the season will permit. The ground 
should be well manured and deeply trenched, have the drills about 
1 14 ft. apart and the plants thinned out about the same distance 
apart. The quality of the roots is improved by allowing them to 
winter in the ground for spring use. 1 oz. of seed will plant 100 ft. 
of drill: 5 lb. to the acre.

832 Carters H o I b o r n 
Marrow {Photograph 
above ). — A sweet dclicate- 
fleshed variety. A truly 
refined Parsnip. When dug 
they lift from the ground 
clean, smooth, anl 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. 
830^ Carters Maltese. — A superb giant Parsnip for exhibition or 
table use. We hold records of many First Prizes having been, 
gained during the past few seasons for this fine Parsnip, which was 
also included in the First and Champion Prize Exhibit of Vegetables 
at Shrewsbury. We are confident this highly-selected strain can- 
not be surpassed either for size or flavour. 
833 Hollow Crown. — An old favourite, and one which is still very 
much sought as an exhibition variety.

PQT ATOES Cultivation Hints. — Under the right climatic 
■ conditions any good fibrous soil will produce 
Potatoes, but a better quality will result from production in 
good sandy loam. Make furrows of good depth, about 3 ft. 
apart, apply a good dressing of commercial fertilizer or well- 
decayed stable manure to each drill; cover this slightly and plant 
good-sized pieces of the potatoes, each containing two or three 
eyes, V/i ft. apart in the furrows. Then cover the seed to the 
depth of 2 in. Begin to cultivate when the plants are up 6 in.
