LATE GARDEN PEAS — Continued, 
Carters Michaelmas 
( Wrinkled , 2}/^ feet) 
( See Photograph) 
This grand Pea quite oversteps 
the boundary hitherto set by 
the times and seasons, and is 
absolutely distinct. Late 
varieties of Peas of past fame 
have been late mainly by rea- 
son of their strawy character. 
The constitution of Carters 
Michaelmas Pea is not run 
through in straw, but is of a 
fixed dwarf, bushy growth, 
which holds back its natural 
force and throws it into the 
pods; consequently, being very 
prolific, its colour in pod is of 
the deepest green, and are large 
and well filled. We have 
proved this Pea to possess a 
reserve strength which will 
enable it to resist drought and 
mildew to a degree hitherto un- 
known in a Pea. The R.H.S. 
in its report of trials at Wisley, 
says: “Carters Michaelmas. 
Height, feet; haulm and 
pods very dark green; very 
sturdy; pods in pairs; heavy 
crop.” 
Price, .75 per qt. ; .40 per pt. ; 
.25 per pkt. 
“Carters Michaelmas is still to gather 
— September 21st — and what I said 
last year I maintain now, we shall have 
Peas till after Michaelmas, and this 
variety produces Peas of the very best 
quality.” — Mr. W. A. Cook. 
We were awarded the gold 
medal at the 1912 Exhibition 
of the Southampton Royal 
Horticultural Society for a 
collection of vegetables of 100 
distinct varieties.
