ADVANTAGE OF GROWING THE BEST. 
Important Testimonial from one of the largest Market Growers in Essex. 
“ December 30th. 
“ I enclose cheque for ^50. The few pounds of Holborn Exhibition Brussels 
Sprouts have proved every word you have said about them, they are large, solid, and 
a splendid colour. I have seven acres, and have been picking this last ten weeks 
and shall keep on right up to March next ; the Sprouts average about 800 pecks 
per acre. I am well pleased with them, for they are the best I ever grew.”_ 
E. J. S. 
“ I am pleased to tell you that I have grown your Exhibition Brussels Sprouts 
this last two years, and they are the best grown in the neighbourhood for miles 
around.”—S. V. 
“ Please send another ounce of your fine Sprouts; I think they are called Exhi¬ 
bition. They were certainly the best I have ever grown.”—D. McD. 
“ Carters’ Holborn Exhibition Brussels Sprouts stand 2 ft. 6 in. high, and 
are covered with buttons from top to bottom. I have never seen any to equal 
them.”—J. C.

FROM A CUSTOMER IN WALES. 
“ I was awarded in the open classes at our Show, available for six miles around, 
14 first prizes, seven seconds, and one third. I have been accused of having a strong 
man at my back supplying me with produce, so this year I opened my garden for 
public inspection. Several came, and 1 convinced them that it was not a strong man 
but a strong firm, namely, James Carter & Co., who supplied me with good 
seeds.”—B. P. 
CARTERS', 237, 238, & 97, HIGH HOLBORN, LON DON.—1900. 
FROM A CUSTOMER IN HAMPSHIRE. 
“ My exhibit at the National Amateur Gardeners’ Association was awarded the 
maximum number of points, for which I got a Diploma of Merit. I also staged six 
Parsnips, 2 feet 9 inches in length, for which I obtained another certificate. My 
Record Onions (spring-sown) weighed 17 lbs. 1^ ozs. Your Red Elephant Carrois 
measured 2 feet 3I inches. I think I have reason to feel proud of my exhibit, although 
your seeds being of such splendid quality were the chief factor of my success.” — Ii. V. V.
