AWARDED 
TEH FIRST PRIZE MEDALS, 
The Cultiuation Of Runner Bean8. — Runner Beans should be planted out of doors about 
the 1st of May, followed by successional sowings at intervals of a fortnight ; by this 
means an abundant supply is provided until the plants are destroyed by the Autumn frosts. 
Care should be taken when planting that sufficient space is allowed between the rows (say 
CEYLON, 1885. 
4 feet), and 12 inches from plant to plant in the rows. 
CEYLON, .885. 
CARTERS’ JUBILEE RUNNER. — (See Illustration.) Awarded 8 First Prizes the First Year of its Introduction. 
Amongst the many noteworthy introductions with which our house is specially identified there is no vegetable standing higher in popular 
estimation than Carters’ Champion Runner, for many years an universal favourite both on the Exhibition stages and the table. We should 
therefore have hesitated to elect another candidate in this class, had we not satisfied ourselves that it was both distinct and an acquisition. 
Carters’ Jubilee Runner is a selection from The Czar, producing an enormous crop of immense pods, many measuring upwards of 12 inches in 
length and l'/i inches in diameter. The pods are unusually thick and fleshy, the flavour being most exquisite, whilst we have every reason 
to believe that the white character of the flowers and the dry seed is more fixed than in the variety from which it is selected. We feel sure 
the superior excellence of this novelty will secure for it a lasting reputation, and thus justify us in associating it with the historical events 
of the year 1887. 
The specimens from which ouf Illustration is made were gathered in perfect order from our growing crop on 
October 16th, 1886, and the drawing is exact as to size and shape of pods. 
“ Carters' Jubilee Runners are far superior to anything I ever saw. I can vouch for them being all you represent in their Catalogue.”— W. LEWRY, Esq., Kent. 
“Jubilee Runner. — Messrs. Carter sent this out with a somewhat flattering account, and as they have sent out so many good vegetables, I was desirous of giving this one 
a trial. During the very dry weather they did not set their bloom so well as some others, and I began to despair; but when the ram came they very soon put on a better 
appearance, and are now bearing as free as many others. Some of the pods measure 12 inches in length, and x l X inches broad. The few I have had cooked have boiled a 
beautiful green colour. The dry seeds are white. It is a robust grower, my plants having exceeded ij feet in height. I have no doubt it will be much sought after for 
exhibition purposes." — G. C. in “ Amateur Gardening," Sept. 17, 1887. 
Price, in sealed packets, 5s. per packet, sufficient to plant a row about 12 feet long, the Beans being planted 6 inches apart. 
CARTERS’ HOLBORN MASTERPIECE. ' * 
One of the earliest, longest -podded, and finest-flavoured 
Beans we have met with ; and, although it comes in early, 
the pods hang fit for use very late in the Autumn (when 
other varieties have become useless). 
Price per pint, in sealed packets 2 0 
“Carters’ Masterpiece Bean did extra well with me last year, and is a grand 
addition to our list of first-class vegetables, being very early, and keeping in bearing 
up to the last.”— Mr. J. FITT, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. The Earl 
of ESSEX. 
“ I consider Carters’ Holborn Masterpiece Bean a great acquisition as an 
abundant cropper, and splendid on table. I gathered them from June to the middle 
of October." — Mr. W. GRAY, Ireland. 
“ Carters' Holborn Masterpiece is the best Bean I ever grew ; some of them were 
12 inches long.” — R. SPANTON, Esq., Lincolnshire.
