IMPROVEMENTS IN PEAS. 
Since the Royal Horticultural Society of England awarded to our House two 
First-Class Certificates in the year 1872, for our initial endeavours to create an advance 
in the cropping and eating properties of Peas, we have never relaxed our efforts in 
this direction, and although long continued experiments are both laborious and costly 
(our trials comprising 1,106 rows in 1902 and 1,259 in 1903), we have been more than 
compensated in being able to state that our persistency has been the means of the 
production of such magnificent improvements in Peas as Telephone , Stratagem , Daisy , 
and Telegraph , all of which have now a world-wide reputation. We now have the 
honour to introduce three new Peas, to our minds the greatest advance in Marrowfat 
Peas that the world has yet seen (see CARTERS’ EIGHT WEEKS, page 7 ; CARTERS’ 
Mayflower , page 8; and Carters’ Buttercup,/^ 15), and to which we have 
affixed popular names, as in the case of the four grand Peas mentioned above. These 
fine varieties will, we are certain, uphold the reputation of our house as introducers of 
new Peas that come to stay. 
GREEN PEAS. 
FOR SUCCESSIONAL USE FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER. 
We have offered the following selection of choice garden Peas with so much success that 
we again quote the group as representing the best collection calculated to produce Peas for five 
months, under fair conditions, if sown at varying periods during the spring and summer. It 
would be difficult to give precise dates for putting the seed into the ground, as so much 
depends upon soil and situation. Suffice it to say that the last sowings should not be made 
later than the second week in June.
