NEW LATE MARROWFAT PEA. 
CARTERS’ DREADNOUGHT. 
This remarkable Pea has been selected by us as a grand addition to the late Main 
Crop Section. It is the practice of our house to make comparative tests of all 
the new Peas introduced by growers both at home and abroad. After careful 
comparison we have failed to find a pea that pleases us more as a variety to come 
in between the Main Crops and the very late peas than Dreadnought. It has large 
bold pods well filled with Peas of delicious flavour. 
We have been instrumental in introducing many Peas which have become 
standard varieties, such as Telephone, Telegraph, Stratagem, Pride of the Market, 
and Daisy, known all over the world, and we undertake to prophesy that this 
novelty is destined to take an equally permanent place, not only among amateurs, 
exhibitors, and connoisseurs at the table, but also as a profitable market Pea. 
Its large deep green well-filled pods, and its resistance to mildew and drought 
are its distinguishing characteristics. 
We have given it the name of Dreadnought at the suggestion of an esteemed 
horticulturist. Height, 3 feet. 
Price 4 S. 6d. per quart, 2 s. 6d. per pint, and is. per packet. 
WE WERE AWARDED THE SILVER GILT KNIGHTIAN MEDAL 
The largest eolleetlon (250 varieties) of Culinary Peas ever exhibited, staged by us at 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, on July 24th, 1907. 
Extract from the Gardeners' Chronicle of July 27th, 1907. — “ Messrs. Janies Carter & Co., High 
Holborn, W.C., showed an exhibit of Peas, in all some 2jO varieties. This very large collection was from their 
trial ground at Mortlake, and as all were sown on the same date (March 27th) it was of much educational value 
as demonstrating the season of each kind ; some were yellow in the pod and others were just forming their seeds. 
Attached to each dish was a label affording information as to the season, habit, &c., of the variety displayed. 
The manner of staging was effective, for interspersed in the group were vases of Sweet Peas, and arches filled 
with the same flowers were arranged down the centre of the table. The large pods of Quite Content were 
conspicuous, and quite the largest in this extensive display. Other varieties that were especially noticeable in 
this display were Duke of Albany fre-selecled). Stratagem, Carters’ Exhibition, Alderman, Gladstone, 
Dreadnought, Daisy, and Torpedo. Several seedlings of merit were also shown, and selected stocks of standard 
kinds.”
