CARTERS’ HAND-PICKED BROAD BEANS. 
The Cultivation of Broad Beans.— Early Mazagan and Dwarf Fan Beans should be planted in November, and a second sowing made in February, the rows being 
' about 15 inches apart ; to be followed by the Long-podded and Windsor varieties to secure a succession. The later sorts should be about 6 inches from plant to 
plant, and 3 feet from row to row. This crop succeeds best on rich soil in an exposed position. On light and dry soils it generally gets attacked by the black blight 
and spoils. (See Carters’ Practical Gardener, price is. ; post free , is. 3 d. )

Carters’ Mammoth Longpod. — (See

originally by us. The dry Seed of this Bean is smaller than many others, 
but it is certain to produce the longest and best-filled pods in its section ... 2 6 
Carters’ Masterpiece Longpod • — An exhibi- 
tion Green Longpod Bean. It combines the earliness of the Seville, 
partakes of the length of pod of the Aquadulce ; and possesses the fine 
quality and flavour of the Green over the White Bean. It is most prolific, 
a great part of the pods hanging in pairs 2 0 
“ A grand cropper ; pods long and well filled ; quality excellent.” 
Mr. J. Aplin, The Gardens, Hasfield Court. 
“This is certainly one of the heaviest cropping varieties I have grown 
The pods are well filled with Beans of a Dark Green colour, which, when 
cooked, resemble those of the Green Windsor.” 
Mr. H. C. Prinsep, The Gardens, Buxted Park.
