CARTERS DAISY PEA (see Photograph on opposite page).— First Class 
Certificate, Royal Horticultural Society. — This grand dwarf Marrowfat Pea 
i has been before the public for some years, and still stands at- the head, as confirmed 
fr \ by the great independent trial of Peas conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society of 
England in 1902. Their experiment comprised over 80 varieties, and CARTERS 
DAISY gained the First Class Certificate given by the Society. CARTERS DAISY 
PEA is an early main crop, growing about 1 5 inches high. The haulm is very robust, 
and the crop of giant, well-filled pods of good colour is enormous. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Mr. J. M Avne, of Bicton Gardens, Devonshire, in the Gardeners’ Chronicle writes: — “Carters 
Daisy Pea. — S o many satisfactory accounts have been given in these pages of this variety of 
Pea that it may seem superfluous again to write its praise, but having grown it for several seasons I can 
confidently recommend it as one of the best second early dwarf varieties at the present time. 
It is of robust growth, reaching nearly 3 feet in height last year, but in ordinary summers the plants do not 
get much above 2 feet, and are literally crowded with fine pods nearly 6 inches long, each containing from 
8 to 10 fine Peas of excellent flavour. I have been much impressed by the length of time the pods will hang 
without getting dry, having saved the crop for seed. The pods are usually borne in pairs, and the raisers are 
certainly to be congratulated upon giving us such a good Pea. I advise those who have not yet grown this 
Pea to procure a quart of seeds from the raisers and sow as soon as the state of the soil will allow, and I will 
vouch for it they will not be disappointed.” 
Carters Edward VII. —In the trials of the Royal Horticultural Society we were granted an Award of 
Merit for this superb early Marrow Pea. It is a first-class representative of the forward section of 
Marrowfats, but has JVe Plus Ultra shaped pods of a beautiful lustrous green, filled with fine, large, sweet- 
eating Peas. Height, 3 feet.

Price IS. 9d. per p : nt, 3s. per quart. 
Carters Pride Of the Market.— A fine main crop blue Marrowfat Pea, belonging to

Carters Torpedo.— This grand Marrow Pea supplies the long-felt want of a first-class table Pea that will 
come into bearing between Carters Early Mom and the original Duke of Albany , which it imitates in all its 
best characteristics, but is 12 inches shorter in the haulm and seven days earlier in maturing. The pods, which 
are dark green, are borne upon strong branching foliage, and contain from 8 to 10 enormous Peas, very 
sweet when cooked. Height, 3I to 4 feet.
