Carters Latest Giant 
Carters Latest Giant ( Wrinkled , 4 feet) 
{see Photograph). This splendid late 
Pea is the outcome of a cross between 
Gladstone and Exhibition and has been 
exhibitedat various Royal Horticultural 
Society Shows under Seedling No. 241. 
It is a grand selection, possessing the 
free podding and strong habit of Glad- 
stone, but bearing handsome, well-filled 
pods very much larger than that ex- 
cellent variety. The pods contain large, 
deep-coloured Peas. It is fit for exhibi- 
tion and unequalled for market. Is 
well described by the name Latest Giant. 
Price, .75 per qt. ; .40 per pt. ; .25 per pkt.

ing blunt-endcd pods with peas of very

Under date October 26 , 1912 
In many gardens this season the Pea crop has 
been anything but satisfactory, but with the re- 
turn of more seasonable weather during part of ’ 
August and throughout September our late varie- 
ties seem to have determined to grow again in a 
normal fashion. Quite the best of them was 
Latest Giant, sent out by Carters, of Raynes Park. 
It proved to be a strong grower, quite outclassing 
four others grown alongside it under similar 
Carters Latest Giant conditions. On October 9th we picked nearly 
half a bushel from a very short row; some of the pods almost 6 inches long, and eleven Peas in a pod was quite common. 
Another remarkable thing about this variety was that, although cropping so freely, it continued to grow and produce flowers 
and seed pods; in fact, at this time everything points to a good picking from this row in November. I may add that the 
seed was sown on June 19th, and beyond deep digging and early mulching no attention was given it. Had feeding been 
resorted to, the pods would possibly have been larger. As it was, the height was 4 feet, while very few single pods were 
produced. — F. R. Castle, in The Gardener.
