LATE GARDEN PEAS. 
CARTERS MICHAELMAS ( Wrinkled Marrowfat, 2% feet) (See Photograph on opposite page). - lliis 
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. 1 he 
constitution of Carters Michaelmas Pea is not run through in Straw, but we have fixed a dwarf bushy growth 
of 2\ 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 are 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 Royai, Horticultural Society, in its report of trials at Wisley, says “ Carters Michaelmas. 
Height, 2\ feet ; haulm and pods very dark green ; very sturdy ; pods in pairs ; heavy crop.” 
Pi ice 3s. 6d. per quart; 2S, per pint; is. per packet. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener says “ Carters Michaelmas is still to gather— September 21st— 
and what I said last year I maintain now, we shall have Peas till after Michaelmas, and this variety produces Peas of 
the very best quality.” — Mr. W. A. Cook.
