DWARF FRENCH BEANS. 
Carters Magpie (The new Longstanding variety) ( see Photograph opposite ). — This remarkably fine Dwarf 
Bean, which has attracted such favourable attention in our trials at Raynes Park for the past two 
1 seasons, was raised in France by an expert grower, who considered it the finest Bean of its class. 
NOVELTY. | j 1ave re . se i ec ted and grown it on for some years, until it has become equally good here in all 
seasons, producing heavy crops when other varieties are damaged or fail. It is also an 
excellent forcer. In habit it somewhat resembles our celebrated Perpetual , but is a heavier cropper, 
the pods also being larger and longer, although of equal quality and flavour. We most strongly recommend 
this introduction. . , 
Price 2S. 6d. per ^-pint; is. per packet. Stock limited. 
NOVELTY. 
Carters Sunrise Dwarf French Bean.— For forcing or outdoors. A distinct and valuable first 
early raised at our Grounds from the result of a cross between Ne Plus Ultra and Carters Perpetual. 
Carters Sunrise is a most valuable addition, for it not only possesses the good forcing quality of 
the Ne Plus Ultra , but is a much better cropper and produces larger and superior pods ; very 
compact growth, and remarkably early. 
Price is. per packet. Stock very limited. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener says:— "Sunrise is a magnificent cropper, good 
s'urdy growth, producing long straight pods in great quantity ; a most excellent Bean. Mr. Geo. I hillips. 
The Lady McEacharn’s Head Gardener says Carters Sunrise is a very free-bearing variety, produced in 
clusters and of excellent quality.” — Mr. J. Day. 
Carters Stringless Dwarf French Bean, Holborn Wonder.— The great success 
which has attended our introduction of the first stringless Green-podded Bean, Carters Canadian Glory , 
has encouraged us to pursue our efforts in selecting stringless Beans for general use. Our Holborn 
Wonder will be found to be free from threads, is quite distinct and very prolific, and we confidently 
recommend it. 
Price 3s. 6d. per quart, 2S. per pint, is. per packet. 
Carters Stringless Dwarf French Bean, Canadian Glory.— An Extra Early Dwarf 
Green-podded French Bean, possessing the invaluable quality of bearing pods absolutely without strings or 
threads. It is equally valuable eaten as a flageolet or Haricot, as on the Continent. 
Price 3s. 6d. per quart, 2S. per pint, is. per packet. 
Carters Canadian Wonder. — We were one of the first to make the merits of this fine dwarf Bean 
known, and its popularity to-day is probably unequalled. Our stock is the finest obtainable, and produces 
an abundance of very long fleshy pods, making it a great favourite both for table and exhibition.

The Cultivation of French Beans.- Sow in pots under glass for forcing from December to April, and about May in the open 
borders, followed by two or three successional sowings at intervals of a fortnight The rows ought to be from 2 ieet . to 2 tea 
6 inches apart, and the plants thinned to about I foot apart. They are rather delicate, and should not be sown out of doors until the 
warm weather sets in.
