CARTERS’ MAYFLOWER.— A new and prolific first early Marrowfat Pea. 
A cross between Daisy and William Hurst. This is a grand thing, with long pointed 
pods twice the size of William Hurst and much more freely produced. The bine is 
robust, possessing the same healthy character as its most famous parent the Daisy. Seed 
wrinkled. Height, i8 inches. Everyone should try this fine introduction, which is but 
very inadequately shown in the photograph. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per ([uart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
CARTERS’ LITTLE MARVEL PEA. 
A first early green wrinkled Marrow. Height, 18 inches. An improvement upon the 
English Wonder class. A grand cropper ; strongly recommended. 
Price IS. 6d. per pint, 2S. 6d. per quart. 
“This year our earliest Pea in the open ground was Carters’ Little ALarvel. which is quite a fortnight 
earlier than any of the first earlies. I should add that all sorts were grown at the start in 4j-inch pots m 
cold frames. The seed was sown in December, and the seedlings planted out the first week in March on 
warm borders. We gathered Little Marvel on June 8th, and had the weather been favourable there 
would have been good pods at the end of ^tay, but the severe frost early in that month actually killed the first 
flowers. This variety is a great gain in every way when lorced, as when fit for use, in spite of its maturing so 
quickly, it is a fair-sized pod and well packed with peas. There are five to seven on an average in each pod, 
and, unlike some of the older early Peas, it is of good flavour. The plant crops enormously, and this so early in 
the season is worth noting. The Little Marvel vtd.^ raised from the older but well-known IVtlliam Lfunt aya 
that fine table Pea Daisy, the latter being noted for quality and as a valuable second early Pea. Marvel ditlers 
from both in this respect ; the pods are rounder than those of Daisy, and larger than Williani Hurst. It shou i 
also make a profitable market variety, as it is only 18 inches high, robust, and crops fiecly. The seed, whic was 
sown late in February in the open, produced plants that bore only a few days later than that grown as desciibe 
above, but this is readily accounted for by the first blossom escaping injury by frost, being a little later hojn 
seed sown l''ebruary 24th. We gathered pods on June l6th and freely on June l8th, and the plant is covered o 
the base. For gardens limited in size the above variety should become a great favourite. — Cr. WYTHES, in i ic 
Garden, July 14th, 1906.
