POPULAR MAIN CROP MARROWFAT PEAS. 
Carters Model Telephone. 
A re-selection for robustness and delicacy of flavour from Telephone , a main crop wrinkled 
marrow, which bears to-day a world-wide reputation. It is remarkably prolific, bearing 
large pods of very attractive appearance ; for soils of a light nature we strongly recommend 
this variety. Peas wrinkled, 9 to 1 1 in a pod, delicious when cooked. Height, 5 feet. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Carters Daffodil Pea. 
A dwarf and very prolific Marrowfat Pea with the highest possible commendations, being of the 
rich deep colour of the Stratagem type, and a decided improvement upon British Wonder 
and the new types of English Wonder. It is a first early of bushy habit, and about 
18 inches, obviating the necessity for sticks, and rendering it serviceable for borders. Its 
pods are larger than any of the well-known Peas of the early dwarf class referred to above, 
while the quality and flavour of the pea is delicious. 
Price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Carters Dwarf Telephone. 
The result of several years’ work in the effort to get a Pea with all the excellent qualities 
of Carters Telephone , without its tall growth. Its height is ii to 2 feet; habit stocky, 
healthy, and vigorous, and remarkably uniform. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
Carters Battleship. 
The blunt-ended pod of this robust Marrowfat Pea is one of its peculiarities. The fine 
dark green pods, which hang in pairs, are filled with large Peas of a rich flavour and 
a bright green colour when served at table ; the haulm is exceedingly strong, anal stands 
both drought and mildew better than most others. Height, 5 feet. 
Price 2S. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart, 6d. and is. per packet. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley last season, says : — “ Carters Battleship. 
Height, 5 feet. Haulm and pods pale green ; pods in pairs ; heavy crop.” 
WE WERE AWARDED THE SILVER CUP 
By the Royal Horticultural Society for a marvellous collection of Peas, comprising 
206 varieties, July, 1906. 
Hints on Cultivation. — Early round Peas may be sown out of doors any time from November onwards, but 
the spring is generally the season when the largest quantities of both Early and Main Crop Marrow Peas are put 
in, extending to June for the latest crops. They thrive best in ground that has been deeply trenched and manured 
for a previous crop ; the seeds should be planted from I J to 3 inches deep, in either single or double rows, and 
the taller varieties must be staked when they are from 4 to 6 inches high ; the tallest kinds should not be less 
than 6 feet apart in rows, and the dwarf varieties half this distance. Peas will stand a good deal of drought if the 
roots find their way into some nice rich material.
