From the ‘•Illustrated London News. ' 
It was Messrs. Carters’ privilege to 
supply a quantity of their Tested Seeds 
to Captain Scott, who took them out to 
the Antarctic regions in 1901. By favour 
of the Botanist accompanying the expedi¬ 
tion some unused portions were returned 
to Messrs. Carter in 1904. These were 
tested, and, notwithstanding the fact that 
they had.twice passed through the tropics, 
and had been exposed to a temperature of 
70° below freezing point, they still grew 
from 70 to 92%. 
All Carters Seeds are tested and 
PROVED TO BE OF HIGH VITALITY BEFORE 
DISTRIBUTION.
