CARTERS’ “QUITE CONTENT” MARROWFAT PEA. 
A GIANT-PODDED MAIN CROP. {See Coloured Plate.') 
Awarded the FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE of the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 1906. 
Pods long:er than any other Pea in cultivation. 
This grand Pea, which has caused such a stir in the Horticultural world during 
the past season, is the outcome of a cross between Alderman and Edwin Beohett In 
general character it resembles the former, but the pods are considerably larger than 
either parent. In our own trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful superiority, 
and when exhibited in the open class at Shrewsbury, 1906, it EASILY SECURED THE 
FIRST PRIZE, and was pronounced by leading experts to be without doubt the finest Pea 
ever seen. It is exceedingly prolific, and the pods hang mostly in pairs. Height, 5 to 
6 feet.

HIS Grace The Duke of Portland's Head Gardener says: — “I have tried Carters* Qjiiie Content Pea, which 
is without doubt the largest podded Pea I know of. I consider it a grand Pea for a moderately rich soil, as the 
large pods are more readily filled than when too strongly grown. Those in want of the largest pods for exhibition 
purposes cannot do better than grow it.” — Mr. James Gibson, The Gardens, Welbeck. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Lathom'S Head Gardener says Carters’ Quite Content Pea is truly a 
magnificent Pea for exhibition and of excellent table quality. I gained First Prize with it at Shrewsbury Show in 
a very strong competition.”— Mr. B. Ashton, The Gardens, Lathom House. 
HIs Gra^ The Duke of Buccleuch’s Head Gardener says: — “Carters’ Quite Content is a splendid Pea of 
first-rate quality. The pods are large, mostly in pairs, and well filled with peas.” — Mr. Whytock, The Gardens, 
Dalkeith Palace. 
The Right Hon. Lord Poltimore'S Head Gardener says: — “Without doubt a variety which has come to stay, 
and it will form one of the standard main-crop varieties.” — Mr. T. II. Slade, The Gardens, Poltimore Park. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener says: — ** Carters’ Quite Content Pea is a marvel, a large cropper, 
and the admiration of all who see it. We have had pods 7 inches long ; it is also of fine flavour. The finest 
Pea ever seen, and everyone ought to be ^ Quite Content^ when they have it flourishing in the garden.” — 
Mr. W. A. Cook, The Gardens, Leonardslee. 
Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener says : — “ Carters’ Quite Content Peas are a tall-growing variety. 
The haulm is fairly dark, pods large and straight, medium green, and from 5 to 6 inches in length, containing 
from 10 to 12 seeds in each, which are of good flavour. An excellent show variety for second early use.” — 
Mr. H. C. Prinsep, The Gardens, Buxted Park. 
“ I should say that this is the largest Pea in existence, and of excellent quality. The pods are well filled, 
and it is indispensable to the exhibitor and excellent for general use.” — Mr. J. C. Tallack, The Gardens, 
Shipley Hall. 
‘ ‘ Have been a showman for the last 1 8 years, but never before have I had such a dish of Peas on the show 
table. I had pods 7J inches long containing 11 peas in each pod.” — Mr. J. W. Surridge, Chingford.
