CARTERS’ MODEL TELEGRAPH. 
Carters’ “ Model Telegraph 
is a re-selection 
for size, the seed being saved from the largest pods only. The selection 
is from our original Telegraph , which is well-known. It was OUP 
privilege to introduce this famous Main-crop Marrow Pea 
in the year 1877, and we held the opinion at the time, and which 
was clearly expressed in our announcement, that it would prove the fore- 
runner of a new race, and this is exactly what has happened. Indeed, 
the Gardeners' Chionicle in an article on Peas so recently as the winter 
of 1894, says: — “ Telegraph may be fairly called the forerunner of nearly 
all the giant-podded section now so popular,” and not only does it hold 
a leading place in gardens but we also find that to-day it is probably 
grown to a much larger extent than any other Pea by the market gardeners, 
who are the first to find out the merits of a new vegetable, as their very 
livelihood depends upon their crops. It is also valuable as an exhibition 
Pea, on account of the size and fine colour of the pods. The seed is round 
and of a deep green colour, which they retain when cooked ; the flavour is 
also of the sweetest. Height 5 feet. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint ; 3s. 6d. per quart.

CARTERS' MODEL TELEPHONE. 
Carters’ “ Model Telephone , , ,„ lMon „ busl „ m 
and delicacy of flavour from Telephone, as originally introduced by us, and may be 
described as a main crop, wrinkled, marrow, which bears to-day a world-wide 
reputation. We regret to state, however, there are many spurious strains about the 
aountry, handled and sold by irresponsible dealers for the sake of extra profit. No 
other Pea extant can claim equal honours with Carters' Telephone on the exhibition 
table. We used to publish a list of such awards gained annually by our customers, 
but it extended beyond our space and could not be continued. It is in every way 
a magnificent Pea even to-day, and no other variety has ever obtained such 
unusual commendation. Peas, wrinkled, 9 to II in a pod, delicious when cooked. 
Height, 5 feet. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint ; 3s. 6d. per quart.
