CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR 
THE LONG SMOOTH- 
277 First Prizes 
reported by 
Customers 
throughout the 
country. 
Carters Scarlet Etnperor has fully maintained its great reputation ; one enthusiastic 
gardener shows it to a neighbour and so its popularity increases each season, and our sales of 
this striking novelty have more than doubled each year. From our observations and the reports 
that we have received Carters Scarlet Emperor has been well represented and nuicli discussed 
at exhibitions all over Great Britain. 
Not only is this Bean of the utmost importance as a prize winner, but its smooth and 
tender texture places it far above all other scarlet runners. Its large, handsome pods, often 
measuring 15^ inches, hang in great clusters, and it has been estimated that the produce 
from Carters Scarlet Emperor is twice as great in bulk as may be expected from the ordinary 
type of scarlet runner, and all of the most refined quality. 
We respectfully thank our Customers for the many kind letters 01 appreciation and reports 
of prize exhibits sent to us last autumn. Oup stock is again highly selected and 
grown under our personal supervision, and we would warn our customers 
against the many substitutions now on the market. 
Price 4S. 6d. per quart; 2s. 6d. per pint; 1s. per packet.

to Cixrlers ocajiet jZiiipcror this seasoiii and I am pleased to say that it has more than ever borne out the cf)od 
opiriion I had of it last season. It is a splendid cropper, with long narrow pods, with a splendid dark green colour.
