- The founder of our Firm, James Carter was, we believe, tne nrst to guarantee the germination of his 
Garden Seeds seventy-six years ago; the practice as amplified in the following illustrations is still conducted 
annually by our Firm. 
1ST Test.— Garden Peas germinating on warm moist felt. Carters Large-flowered Sweet Peas germinating on specially 
prepared paper. 
2ND Test. — Garden Peas being germinated in mould. Garden Peas placed for testing germination on fibre. 
Peas growing at 
the same time as 
our Customers 
grow them, to full 
maturity, so that 
we may assure 
ourselves of the 
quality and true- 
ness of each 
variety. By ex- 
amining our trials 
from time to time 
we know exactly 
how the produce of 
our Seeds should 
appear in the 
gardens of our 
Customers all over 
the World, making 
allowances for the 
various climates, 
and by the aid of 
our comparative 
tests (we try all 
British and Con- 
tinental Seeds of 
repute) we assure 
ourselves that our 
Customers are 
growing “ the best 
and only the best” 
and “Tested.” 
The Last Test. — Growing to maturity in our experimental gardens.
