CARTERS “QUITE CONTENT” MARROWFAT PEA. 
A GIANT-PODDED MAIN CROP. 
Awarded the FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE of the ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 1906. 
Pods longer than any other Pea in cultivation. 
This grand Pea, which has caused such a stir in the Horticultural world during the past season, is the 
outcome of a cross between Alderman and Edwin Beckett. In general character it resembles the former, but 
the pods are considerably larger than either parent. In our own trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful 
superiority, and when exhibited in the open class at Shrewsbury, 1906, it easily secured the FIRST 
PRIZE, and was pronounced by leading experts to be without doubt the finest Pea ever seen. It is exceedingly 
prolific, and the pods hang mostly in pairs Height, 5 to 6 feet.

We would respectfully draw our customers attention to the following, which appeared 
In “The Garden," September, 1908:— 
Pea Quite Content.— “ The true and original Pea Quite Content, as sent out by Messrs. James 
Carter and Co., is a maincrop variety, height 6 feel, foliage and pod deep green, pod 7 inches to ji inches long, 
hanging mostly in pairs, and is quite distinct from all other Peas. We are requested to make this statement, as 
we are given to understand that a Pea, which has not all the claims of Carters Quite Content, has been widely 
distributed this season by others, either by accident or design, thereby causing much correspondence and annoy- 
ance to the growers and Messrs. Carter alike. Messrs. Carters Quite Content was distributed this season in their 
sealed packets, and has each year been carefully re-selected.”
