Carters International ( Wrinkled Marrowfat, 5 to 6 feet , «« Photograph on 
opposite page). Award of Merit R.H.S., 1908. — This magnificent Pea is tire result 
of a cross between our well-known Early Morn and Duke of Albany. It is quite 
distinct both in shape of pod and habit; the pods arc of a rich deep green, containing 1 1 Peas of excellent 
size and flavour; this is undoubtedly the largest curved podded Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the 
public, and we are anticipating a large demand. Second early. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 2 r 1 ) were exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Society’s Show 
at Newcastle, and at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show at Holland House, and attracted much 
favourable attention. 
Price 25. 6 d. per pint. Stock limited. 
We give a few reports on Carters International Pea (Seedling No. 21 t):— 
H is Grace The Duke of Buccleuch’s Head Gardener says: — "International Tea is a good exhibition 
Pea, pods 6 inches long, containing io Peas, equal sized, good colour, fine flavour. This Pea has cropped better than some other 
good Peas this adverse season.”— Mr. James Wiiytock, Dalkeith, N.B. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Sandwich’s Head Gardener says I consider the International I’ea 
a grand second early, very heavy cropper ; pods large, averaging nine and ten Peas in a pod of first-class quality.” Mr. Hansford, 
The Gardens, Hooke Court, Beaminster. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Kimberley’s Head Gardener says “ International Pea. Very good 
quality, growing 5 feet high ; the pods a dark green and well filled ; heavy cropper. A Pea worth growing.” — Mr. W. N. THURSTON, 
Witton Park, North Walsham, Norfolk. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Mansfield’s Head Gardener says Carters International. This is a 
first-class Pea for second early, of fine strong haulm, very free cropper, large pods of fine large Peas, about nine to the pod ; excellent 
in quality, is well worth a place in any garden ; tall grower.” — Mr. W. Ward. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Abingdon's Head Gardener says •.—"International Pea is one of the 
best Peas I know of; good cropper and splendid quality, running Quite Content very close.” — Mr. W. Brown, Wytham Abbey, 
Oxford. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Galloway’s Head Gardener says :— 1 “ International Pea. A very 
promising variety, which arrives at maturity early, has large well-filled pods ; quality all that can be desired.”- Mr. James Day, The 
Gardens, Garliestown, Wigtownshire. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener says : — “ International Pea. Height, 6 feet. 
This vari' ty has done remarkably well with me this season, having extra strong growth, the pods being very dark green, long and 
curved, chiefly in pairs, average 10, of excellent flavour. This is a very heavy cropper for a second early, and for exhibition purposes 
cannot be excelled, coming next to Quite Content in my estimation. Can speak very highly of it as one of the best in cultivation.” — 
Mr. Ouainton, The Gardens, Pcper Harrow Park, Godaiming. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener says This is an excellent second early variety 
growing about 6 feet high ; the haulm is robust, and plant a good constitution ; foliage large, light green mottled ; pods large, after 
the Duke of Albany type, but earlier. A tall Pea of first-rate quality.” — Mr. PlUNSEl 1 , The Gardens, Buxted Park, Uckfield. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener says:— “This Pea has done extraordinarily well this season, ft is quite 
distinct, and has gained a good name hereabouts. I have given a few seeds to small growers, who were charmed with it. It had 10 
and 1 1 Peas in a pod, of a beautiful green, had a true Marrowfat flavour ; bears in pairs, and most prolific. It has certainly come to 
stay.” — Mr. W. A. Cook, The Gardens, I.eonardslee, Horsham. 
Admiral Brand’s Head Gardener says: — '■'International, surely the last word as far as size and quality are 
concerned, free cropping, hanging mostly in pairs, with fine dark-marbled foliage, withstanding mildew well. Height, 5 feet. This 
is a Pea that must push its way to front rank ; indispensable to exhibitors, many of the pods over 6 inches in length.” — Mr. W. Back, 
Glynde Place, Lewes, Sussex. 
“A fine bearer and a strong grower; the flavour of the Peas should attract particular notice as the best ot that class.” — 
Mr. James Lawson, The Gardens, Horticultural College, Swanley.
