CARTERS PERPETUAL DWARF FRENCH BEAN. 
AWARD OF MERIT, ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
This remarkable bean is strongly recommended as being in every way a great acquisition ; it is of very 
compact growth, the foliage of an attractive dark green, and the pods are of medium size ; the most important 
feature is the prolonged period this variety continues to bear, and its remarkable quality for withstanding hot 
and dry seasons. Pods were picked in our Trial Grounds at Raynes Park earlier than other varieties, and 
young tender beans were gathered after most other sorts were quite finished. 
We exhibited about 50 pots of French Beans at an early August meeting of the R.H.S., the most 
favourably discussed variety being Carters Perpetual shown under Seedling No. 249. Limited space prevents us 
from publishing many of the pleased reports we should wish. 
“ Carters Perpetual Dwarf and Carters Sunrise were simply marvels Of cropping quantities and staying powers. 
I cannot conceive anything better than these being possible.” — Mr. I'\ W. Church, Gardener to E. S. llanlniry, Esq. 
Price 2S. 6d. per pint ; is. per packet.
