Carters International {see Photograph). Award of Merit, 
R.H.S., 1908.- This magnificent Pea is the result of a cross 
between our well-known Early Morn and Duke of Albany. It is 
quite distinct both in shape of pod and habit ; the pods are of a 
rich deep green, containing 1 1 Peas of excellent size and flavour ; this is undoubtedly the 
largest curved podded Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the public, and we are 
anticipating a large demand. Second early. Height, 5 to 6 feet. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 21 1) were exhibited at the Royal 
Agricultural Society’s Show at Newcastle, and at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show 
at Holland House during the past summer, and attracted much favourable attention. 
Price is. per packet (about 150 seeds). Stock limited.

We give a few reports on Carters International Pea (Seedling No. 211) : — 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Sandwich’s Head Gardener says : — “ A marvellous 
cropper; flavour nothing to be desired.” — Mr. Hansford, The Gardens, Ilooke Court, Beaminster. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener says : — “ Haulm extra dark, 
sturdy, very stout stems, pods large and handsome, hanging in pairs, average nine in pods ; a great improvement on 
the old stock of Duke of Albany . Fine cropper.” — Mr. QuAlNTON,Thc Gardens, Peper Harrow Park, Godalming. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener says: — “ This is an excellent 
second early variety growing about six feet high ; the haulm is robust, and plant a good constitution ; foliage 
large, light green mottled ; pods large, after the Duke of Albany type, but earlier. A tall Pea of first-rate 
quality.” — Mr. Prinsep, The Gardens, Buxted Tark, Uckfield. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener says: — “A very fine second early grown after the style 
o( Early Morn , but is infinitely better; it produces fine pods of most delicious Peas; is certain to become a 
general favourite.” — Mr. W. A. Cook, The Gardens, I.eonardslee, Horsham. 
“A fine bearer and a strong grower ; the flavour of the Peas should attract particular notice as the best of 
that class.” — Mr. James Lawson, The Gardens, Horticultural College, Swanley. 
Carters Harvestman. Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1908 — 
This grand Pea, which is a cross between Express and Duk e of 
Albany (Seedling No. 214), possesses all the qualities of Duke of 
Albany , but the pod is distinct in shape, more regular in growth, not 
quite so tall, and altogether superior. Its appearance and cropping qualities are far ahead 
of either Duke of Albany and Duchess , or any of a similar class, and we are confident that 
there is a great future before it. For market or garden it is a most profitable Pea. Main 
crop Height, 5 feet. 
Price is. per packet (about 150 seeds). Stock limited.

Carters Snowdrop. Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1908. A cross 
between Early Mor?i and Express (Seedling No. 206). — This first 
early Pea can best be described as an early Ne plus ultra, having pods 
similar in shape and colour to that variety ; it is a few days later than 
our Early Morn, growing rather taller, but possessing the robust constitution of its other 
parent ( Express ) ; for early sowing we can strongly recommend. First early. Height, 
4 feet. Price is. per packet (about 150 seeds). Stock limited.
