Carters International {see Phoiog;ra/>h on opposite p>age). 
Award of Merit R.H.S., 1908.- This magnificent Pea is the result 
of a cross between our well-known Early Morn and Duke of Albany. 
It is quite distinct both in shape of pod and habit; the pods are of a 
rich deep green, containing 1 1 Peas of excellent size and flavour ; this is undoubtedly the 
largest curved podded Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the public, and we are 
anticipating a large demand. Second early. Height, 5 to 6 feet. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 2n) were exhibited at the Royal 
Agricultural Society’s Show at Newcastle, and at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show 
at Holland House during the [)ast summer, and attracted much favourable attention. 
Price IS. per packet (about 250 seeds). Stock limited.
