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.

for 1 oz., hi- tor 3 oz., 7/0 tor 5 oz., 10/6 for H oz., 
2./- per lb., 63/- for 3J lbB , 120/- for 7 lbs. As I 
hold one of the largest st"Cks of ELDORADO I am 
determined not to be undersold by any reliable 
firm, and have, therefore, reduced my prices as 
above. To encourage the cultivation of this variety 
I will give a prize of 
£10 FOR ONE TUBER. $ 
You have a chance of obtaining this, as well as a / 
certain and sound investment, if you purchase seed / 
from me. I bought rny stock from Massey, with a f 
guarantee that it was direct from Kindlay. As an / 
inferior potato is being sold under the name of T 
“ Eldorado,” all buyers shoul I obtain full proof that / 
the stock they are buying is bona fide. With regard J 
to its being a sound investment, it needs very lit;l • f 
calculation to prove this. If true stock is obtained ' 
from one pound of seed, with very little trouble or 
expert knowledge, 11 to 2 cwt. of potatoes can be 
grown, and as 3/6 per lb. is considered to be the 
price it will fetch next season, it can at once be 
seen that “ Eldorado ' is a good investment. Even 
supposing it does not realise this price, but is sold 
at Gd. or 1/- per lb. (not tlia it will he), where can 
you secure a better return for your money ? The 
variety has proved an enormous cropper, absolutely 
disease-resisting, handsome tubers, and cook* 
splendidly.
