CARTERS’ MICHAELMAS PEA (see Photograph on opposite page ). — This grand Pea quite oversteps the 
boundary hitherto set by the times and seasons, and is absolutely distinct. Late varieties of Peas of past 
fame have been late mainly by reason of their strawy character. The constitution of Carters’ Michaelmas Pea 
is not run through in straw, but we have fixed a dwarf bushy growth of feet, which holds back its natural 
force and throws it into the pods ; consequently, while being very prolific, its colour in pod is of the deepest 
green, and its pods arc large and well filled. We have proved this Pea to possess a reserve of strength which 
will enable it to resist the drought and the mildew to a degree hitherto unknown in a Pea. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, in their report of trials at Wisley, say ; — “ Carters’ Michaelmas. 
Height, 3i feet ; haulm and pods very dark green ; very sturdy ; pods in pairs ; heavy crop.” 
Price as. per pint, 3 s. 6 d. per quart, 6 d. and is. per packet.
