CARTERS’ HAND-PICKED BEANS. 
RUNNER BEANS. 
The Cultivation of Runner Beans. — 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 3 feet), and 12 inches from plant to plant in the rows. If slugs are troublesome during the young stage of growth, dust over with 
soot and lime. 
Carters’ Jubilee Runner • — (See Illustration page 19.) 
This extraordinary Bean was first brought to the notice of our customers in 1S88, 
and it still remains the longest-podded variety in cultivation, and its records on 
the exhibition table stand unrivalled. It was also the best Runner Bean in the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Gardens at a recent trial. Carters’ Jubilee Runner 
produces an enormous crop of immense pods, which are thick, of marvellous 
length, and unusually fleshy, the flavour being all that is desired. We had some 
pods sent us measuring finches long ; they were exhibited in our Establishment 
and caused quite a furore.

“ Carters’ Jubilee Runner Bean gave great satisfaction. It was a mass of white 
flowers. We cut bundles of flowers for decoration, and then had an enormous crop 
of Beans.” — Mr. Palmer, West Winch. 
“ This Bean I grew in large pots forced, and it produced enormous crops. Equally 
prolific in the open, and of splendid quality.” 
Mr. G. Wythes, Head Gardener to Earl Percy.

“ Many of the runner Beans are too large and coarse, and find little favour in the 
kitchen, but though the above variety is long in the pod, it is neither thick, stringy, 
nor ill-shaped. As an exhibition sort it should take high rank.” — The Garden. 
“ I have for two successional years taken first prize here in our Annual Vegetable 
Show, &c., with your ‘ Elephant’ Runner.” — Sergt. O. G. Bush, Forton.

CLIMBING FRENCH BEAN. 
This novel type was first introduced to public notice by Mr. H. W. Ward, the late 
well-known gardener at Longford Castle. It has all the characteristics of the Dwarf 
Canadian Wonder , from which it was probably obtained, and the fact of its climbing 
habit is considered by some to induce greater productiveness ; at any rate the Royal 
Horticultural Society granted it their leading honour chiefly on account of this feature. 
In sealed packets, price is. 9d. per quart.

Carters’ Canadian Wonder. — We were 
one of the first to make the merits of this fine dwarf Flageolet Bean 
known, and its popularity to-day is probably unequalled by any other 
variety. It is a robust and healthy Bean, and seems to withstand the 
viscissitudes of our uncertain climate better than others. The pods are 
of great length and good for exhibition. This is a reselected stock, 
of which we have only a limited quantity 2 0
