| THE BEST OF THE SEASON. xi 
NEW BEAN, 
SUTTON'S SCARLET RUNNER. 
We have pleasure in offering for the first time this new and distinct type of 
Runner Bean. We have grown it in our Experimental Grounds for the past two 
seasons, and have no hesitation in saying that for quality, productiveness, and size of 
pod, it is superior to any Scarlet Runner Bean in cultivation. Unlike some other sorts 
which on attaining a large size are apt to get coarse, this variety retains its quality and 
tenderness until comparatively old. It is, in consequence, invaluable where space does 
not permit of several successional sowings. We also strongly recommend it for 
exhibition, as it combines unusual size with perfect symmetry of form. In fact it 
resembles a Dwarf Bean in the fine silky texture of the pods, which are narrower than 
most Runners, but remarkably long. (See illustration annexed.)

This magnificent variety is one of several Seedlings we have purchased from 
Mr. Wm. Culverwell. During the past three years it has been subjected to most careful 
irials in our Experimental Grounds, and, as a result, we are able to state with confidence 
that no other Pea is the equal of Sutton’s “ Royal Jubilee " for exhibition purposes and 
general use. 
The habit of growth is robust and vigorous, and it is therefore capable of enduring 
drought and resisting mildew. The foliage is bright green; haulm strongly branched, 
and differs from the majority of large-podded Peas in growing to the height of from 
4 to 5 feet only, an advantage which will not fail to be appreciated. It is an unusually 
productive variety, generally bearing pods in pairs, and these are ‘conspicuous for their 
immense size, frequently attaining 6 inches in length: they are proportionately broad, 
slightly curved, and contain from nine to twelve large Peas, closely set, which, when 
cooked, are of a beautiful green colour, and possess a rich marrow-like flavour. 
We recommend this new Pea for trial in every garden, in the full assurance that it 
will give entire satisfaction, and in time supersede some of the older kinds. It comes in 
for use early in eras
