A grand selection from one of the latest types of Carters Stratagem, differing in several 
ways, notably the shape of pod, from Carters Dauby Stratagem. It is a strong grower, 
and a prolific bearer of large exhibition pods, besides being a first-class table pea. 
It is also a good dry-weather pea. Strongly recommended. Height, 2 feet. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley last season, says : — “ Carters 
Commonwealth. Height, 2.V feet. Haulm and pods pale green ; pods in pairs averaging seven large sweet peas 
in a pod.” 
A selection from our original Telegraph , which is well known. Very valuable as an 
exhibition Pea, on account of the size and fine dark colour of the pods. The seed 
is round and of a deep green colour, which is retained when cooked. The flavour 
is also of the sweetest. Height, 5 feet. 
Anticipation grows to a height of about 2^ feet, and sown at the usual season it. comes 
into bearing early in July. The foliage is of a medium shade of colour, the habit 
robust, with immense straight pods containing Peas of an exquisite flavour when 
cooked. A grand dry-weather Pea and resister of mildew. 
The largest collection (250 varieties) of Culinary Peas ever exhibited, staged by us at 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, on July 24th, 1907. 
Extract from the Gardeners' Chronicle of July 27th, 1907. — “ Messrs. James Carter & Co., High 
Holborn, W.C., showed an exhibit of Peas, in all some 250 varieties. This very large collection was from their 
trial ground at Morllake, and as all were sown on the same date (March 27th) it was of much educational value 
as demonstrating the season of each kind ; some were yellow in the pod and others were just forming their seeds. 
Attached to each dish was a label affording information as to the season, habit, &c., of the variety displayed. 
The manner of staging was effective, for interspersed in the group were vases of Sweet Peas, and arches filled 
with the same flowers were arranged down the centre of the table. The large pods of Quite Content were 
conspicuous, and quite the largest in this extensive display. Other varieties that were especially noticeable in 
this display were Duke of Albany fre-selected), Stratagem , Carters Exhibition , Alderman , Gladstone , 
Dreadnought , Daisy , and Torpedo. Several seedlings of merit were also shown, and selected stocks of standard 
kinds.”
