CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR RUNNER BEAN .-Continued. 
The Right Hon.- The Duke Of Leeds’ Head Gardener writes: — “ Scarlet Emperor Runner 
B'an gave great satisfaction. It is a splendid Bean, and one of the first ready with us this year, and now 
(Oct 19th), as I just looked through them, found a nice lot of good Beans fit for use.”— Mr. J. Nicol, Ilomby 
Castle Gardens, Bedalc. 
The Hon. Rupert Becket’S Head Gardener, writes “ I have thoroughly tested Carters Scarlet 
Emperor Runner, and can confidently say it is the largest podded and best cropper I have ever seen, and for 
show work has no equal.” — Mr. B Gray, Brantingham Thorpe Gardens. Brough, East Yorks. 
IVflrs. Fielden’s Head Gardener writes: — “ Scarlet F.mperor Runner is a grand acquisition. I have 
gathered many pods 15 inches long. It is remarkable for its free cropping habit and continuous bearing.”— 
Mr. G. P. Bound, Grimston Park Gardens, Tadcaster. 
Mrs. Hall-Watts’ Head Gardener writes “ Carters Scarlet Emperor Runner is, in my opinion, the 
best Runner I have ever grown ; as a cropper it could not well be beaten, whilst for size of pod it is quite easy — 
even under ordinary cultivation — to pick out plenty of pods 12 inches and over in length ; but by extra cultivation 
and thinning for exhibition, pods of enormous size will be produced. The flavour and colour is also excellent.” — 
Mr. George Wilson, Bishop Burton Hall Gardens, Beverley. 
Sir Henry D. Ingleby, Bart.’s Head Gardener writes : — “Your Scarlet Emperor Runner Bean 
has done wonderfully well with me ; it is very free setting and a good cropper. I have had a quantity of pods 
14 and 15 inches long, and they have been quite tender right up to the last.” — Mr. H. Fox, The Gardens, 
Ripley Castle, Yorks. 
J. P. Pease, Esq.’s Head Gardener writes : — “ Carters Scarlet Emperor Runner is the Exhibitor’s 
Friend, and, without doubt, the most important break towards perfection ever attained in Runner Beans. The 
pods are of great size, and produced with marvellous freedom, and are of first-class quality when cooked.” — 
Mr. G. Picker, The Gardens, Hesslewood, East Yorks. 
Lt.-Col. Goddard’S Head Gardener writes I am delighted with your Scarlet Emperor Runner. 
It is a vigorous grower, its cropping qualities quite exceeded my expectations, and the pods are of enormous size. 
I can safely predict it will become a general favourite with market gardeners.”— Mr. E. Wright, The Gardens, 
Th waite House, Cottingham, East Yorks. 
The Right Hon. Lord Middleton’s Head Gardener writes “ Scarlet Emperor Runner has 
done excetdingly well ; a heavy crop of very fine pods.”— Mr. J. Anderson, Birdsall House Gardens, Yorks. 
F. Reynard, Esq.’s Head Gardener writes: — “Your Runner Beans, Scarlet Emperor, is by far the 
best Bean. I have grown lots of them 14 inches long and the very best in quality.” — Mr H. Lyon, Sunderland- 
wick Gardens, Driffield. 
Admiral Walker’s Head Gardener writes : — “ Your Runner Bean, Scarlet Emperor , is indeed an eye 
opener. It was admired by all who saw it here, the attraction being the length of the pods, which were from 
10 to 14 inches long, in bunches of six to eight pods, even in growth, good in colour, with a smoothness and an 
absence of curled-up pods not found in other sorts. Another recommendation is its long season in growth. 
I made my first gathering in July, and to-day (Oct. 1 91 li ) I gathered fine tender pods, when other sorts had 
finished a fortnight ago grown under the same conditions.” — Mr. G. Davison, Beverley Hall Gardens, Yorks. 
NOVELTY, CARTERS “RED GIANT” RUNNER BEAN. 
The largest giant-podded Runner Bean ever introduced. 
We have much pleasure in bringing to our customers’ notice a Runner 
Bean which is even longer in the pods than our tar-famed Scarlet Emperor, 
but we wish particularly to point out that although so marvellously prolific 
it is not quite so smoothed skinned as that variety. We would strongly 
recommend those of our customers who are desirous of growing not only 
the largest podded, but also the heaviest bunching variety in commerce, tc 
give this truly “Giant” Bean a trial. 
Price Is. per packet (12 Seeds).
