GREEN PEAS— JUNE TO NOVEMBER 
s 
A correspondence was raised in the Daily Press last Autumn upon the shortness of the season when Green Peas are 
available, both in gardens and on the market. In many large establishments a constant succession is grown out in the open 
from June to November, and there is no reason why the custom should not extend to all private gardens where vegetables are 
cultivated for home consumption. 
We now offer the following as representing the best collection selected from 1024 rows we had under trial this season 
at Mortlake, calculated to produce Peas for five months, under fair conditions, if sown at varying periods during the Spring 
and Summer. It would be difficult for us to give precise dates for putting the seed into the ground as so much depends 
upon soil and situation. Suffice it to say that the last sowings should not be made later than the second week in June.

OUR WORK AMONGST PEAS. 
During the last 25 years quite a revolution has taken place in the Garden Pea, an important vegetable with which we 
have always been closely identified, our sales last season reaching the enormous output of 40,000 bushels. 
Our experiments, having an aim towards its improvement, both in earliness or lateness, size of pod and flavour of pea, 
commenced in the year 1872, after we had been honoured with two first-class certificates from the Royal Horticultural 
Society for our initial endeavours to create an advance upon the old-fashioned varieties then in vogue. 
Our next important step was the purchase from Mr. Culverwell of that justly celebrated pea raised by him and called 
Telegraph; this was in the year 1876, and from the adoption of this northern blood into our pedigree stock have since 
sprung the sterling and popular varieties Telephone, Stratagem, Pride of the Market, Anticipation, and Daisy, all of 
world-wide repute, whilst there are others that have yet to earn fame. 
During the time our experiments in cross breeding have been in progress we have also given a good deal of attention 
to re-selection, and foremost among the very earliest out-door Peas, for many years was Carters’ First Crop ; out of this we 
selected Carters’ Lightning, and introduced it in i887, and now well-known. In 1892 we brought out the famous Daisy Pea, 
twice honoured with recognition from the Critical Investigation Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. This fine 
Dwarf Marrowfat was illustrated in the Gardeners’ CHRONICLE, with a description by Dr. Masters, F.R.S.
