CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR 
THE LONG SMOOTH- 
Carters Scarlet Emperor fully maintains its great reputation, and its popularity still increases, as 
out sales strikingly show. Reports, and our customers’ appreciation of this striking Bean, still endorse the 
experts opinion given below. At the exhibitions Scarlet Emperor is still the favourite Runner Bean, and our records 
of first prizes gained all over the country confirm the first season’s report as being the finest Scarlet Runner 
introduced. Not only is this Bean of the utmost importance as a prize-winner, but its smooth and tender 
texture places it far above all other Scarlet Runners. Its large handsome pods, often measuring 1 5 k inches, 
hang in great clusters, and it has been estimated that the produce from Carters Scarlet Emperor is twice as great 
in bulk as may be expected from the ordinary type of Scarlet Runner, and all of the most refined quality. 
NOTE.— Our stock is rigidly selected and only grown under our own special supervision, 
we therefore warn our customers against the many substitutions now on the market. 
Price 4s. 6d. per quart; 2s. 6d. per pint; IS. per packet. 
His Grace The Duke of Portland’s Head Gardener writes : — “I have given an extended trial to Cartcis Scarlet 
Em pew this season, and I am pleased to say that it has more than ever borne out the good opinion I had of it last season. It is 
a splendid cropper, with long narrow pods, with a splendid dark green colour. It also has much less of the coarse skin usual in 
Runner Beans.’’— Mr James Gibson.
