SECOND EARLY GARDEN PEAS — Continued 
Carter’s Daisy Pea 
The Most Famous Second Early Wrinkled Pea in Cultivation 
Carter’s Daisy ( Wrinkled , 15 
inches)-. — First-Class Cer- 
tificate, Royal Horticultural 
Society. — This grand dwarf 
Pea has been before the 
public for some years, and 
still stands at the head, as 
confirmed by the great in- 
dependent trial of Peas con- 
ducted by the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society. Their 
experiment comprised over 
80 varieties, and Carter’s 
Daisy gained the First-Class 
Certificate given by the 
Society. Carter’s Daisy 
Pea is an early maincrop, 
growing about 15 inches 
high. The haulm is very 
robust and the crop of 
giant, well-filled pods of 
good colour is enormous. 
Price, .60 per qt. ; .35 per pt. ; 
.20 per pkt. 
Mr. J. MAYNE.of Bicton Gardens, 
Devonshire, in the Gardeners’ 
Chronicle, writes : — 11 Carter’s Daisy 
Pea. So many satisfactory ac- 
counts 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 con- 
gratulated 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.”
