CARTERS “QUITE CONTENT” MARROWFAT PEA. 
A GIANT-PODDED MAIN CROP. 
Awarded the FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE of the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 1906. 
Pods longer and larger than any other Pea in cultivation. 
This gi'and ]’ea, which has caused such a stir in the Horticultural world, is the outcome of a cross 
between Alderman and Ediuin Beckett. In general character it resembles the former, but the pods are 
considerably larger than either parent. In our own trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful 
superiority, and when exhibited in the open class at Shrewsbury, 1906, it easily Secured the FIRST 
PRIZE, and was pronounced by leading experts to be without doubt the finest Tea ever seen. It is exceedingly 
prolific, and the pods hang mostly in jiairs. 1 leight, 5 to 6 feet.

fine exhibition Pea do better than it has done this year. It has been niy heaviest cropper, pods of enormous size, 
many containing ii Peas, chiefly in pairs. It is a Pea that requires plenty of room as its growth is so strong, and 
if planted on trenched ground will pay for the extra amount of labour by the crop it will produce.” — Mr. 
Quainton, The Gardens, Peper Harrow Park, Godaiming. 
The Right Hon. W. H. Long’s Head Gardener says: — “The exhibitor can ill afford to be without this 
pea among peas {Quite Content). We have seen some enviously fine dishes exhibited on many occasions this 
year.”— Mr. W. Strugneu., Rood Ashton, Trowbridge.”

pods cau.sing every person who sees it to exclaim ‘Whal a marvellous pea !’ I have seen it at several first-class

We would respectfully draw our customers attention to the following, which appeared 
in **The Garden,” September, 1908:— 
Pea Quite Contenti — “The true and original Pea Quite Content, as sent out by Messrs. James 
Carter and Co., is a maincrop variety, height 6 feet, foliage and pod deep green, pod 7 inches to 7^ inches long, 
hanging mostly in pairs, and is quite distinct from all other Pea'). We are requested to make this statement, as 
we arc given to understand that a Pea, which has not all the claims of Caiters Quite Content, has been widely 
distributed this season by others, cither by accident or design, thereby causing much correspondence and annoy* 
ance to the growers and Messrs. Carter alike. Messrs. Carters Quite Content was distributed this season in theii 
sealed packets, and has each year been carefully re*selecled.”
