POPULAR MAIN CROP MARROWFAT PEAS. 
Carters’ Model Telephone. 
A re-selection for robustness and delicacy of flavour from Telephone, a main crop wrinkled 
marrow, which bears to-day a world-wide reputation. No other Pea can claim equal 
honours with the best strains of Carters’ Telephone on the exhibition table. Peas 
wrinkled, 9 to 1 1 in a pod, delicious when cooked. Height, 5 feet. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d, and is. per packet. 
Carters’ Daffodil Pea. 
A dwarf and very prolific Marrowfat Pea with the highest possible commendations, being of the 
rich deep colour of the Stratagem type, and a decided improvement upon British Wonder 
and the new types of English Wonder. It is a first early of bushy habit, and about 
18 inches, obviating the necessity for sticks, and rendering it serviceable for borders. Its 
pods are larger than any of the well-known Peas of the early dwarf class referred to above, 
while the quality and flavour of the pea is delicious. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Carters’ Dwarf Telephone. 
The result of several years’ work in the effort to get a Pea with all the excellent qualities 
of Carters’ Telephone, without its tall growth. Its height is to 2 feet; habit stocky, 
healthy, and vigorous, and remarkably uniform. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Carters’ Battleship. 
The blunt-ended pod of this robust Marrowfat Pea is one of its peculiarities. The fine 
dark green pods, which hang in pairs, clearly imitate in size that grand Pea Telephone, 
introduced by our House many years ago. The haulm is exceedingly strong, and stands 
both drought and mildew better than others. The peas are rich flavoured and a bright 
green when served at table. Height, 5 feet. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet 
The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley last season, says : — “ Carters’ Battleship.

WE WERE AWARDED THE SILVER CUP 
By the Royal Horticultural Society for a marvellous collection of Peas, comprising 
206 varieties, July, 1906. 
Hints on Cultivation. — Early round Peas may be sown out of doors any time from November onwards, but 
the spring is generally the season when the largest quantities of both Early and Main Crop Marrow Peas are put 
in, extending to June for the latest crops. They thrive best in ground that has been deeply trenched and manured 
for a previous crop ; the seeds should be planted from to 3 inches deep, in either single or double rows, and 
the taller varieties must be staked when they are from 4 to 6 inches high ; the tallest kinds should not be less 
than 6 feet apart in rows, and the dwarf varieties half this distance. Peas will stand a good deal of drought if the 
roots find their way into some nice rich material. ^For full particulars see Carters’ Practical Gardener,
