CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR 
THE LONG SMOOTH- 
Carters Scarlet Emperor has fully maintained its great reputation ; one enthusiastic gardener shows it to a 
neighbour and so its popularity increases each season, and our sales of this striking novelty have more than 
doubled each year. From our observations and the reports that we have received Carters Scarlet Emperor has 
been well represented and much discussed at exhibitions all over Great Britain.

His Grace The Duke of Portland’s Head Gardener says I have given an extended trial to Carters Scarlet 
Emperor this season, and I am pleased to say that it has more than ever borne out the good opinion 1 had of it last season. It is

Runner Beans.’’— Mr. James Gibson, The Gardens, Welbeck.
