PEAS — Continued 
Carter’s International 
NEW 
Early Morn Duke of Albany Carter’s International ( Wrinkled 5 to 0 feet) ( see Photograph on 
page 80). — Award of Merit R. H. S., 1908. — 
This magnificent Pea is the result of a cross between 
our well-known Early Morn and Duke of Albany. It is quite distinct, both in shape of pod and 
habit; the pods are of a rich deep green, containing 11 Peas of excellent size and flavour. This is 
undoubtedly the largest curved podded wrinkled Pea at present offered to the public; it is quickly 
becoming the most famous second early. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 211) were exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Society’s 
Show at Newcastle, and at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show at Holland House, and attracted 
much favourable attention. Included in the Large Gold Medal Exhibit, Shrewsbury, 1912. 
Price, .60 per qt. ; .35 per pt. ; .20 per pkt. 
We give a few reports on Carter’s International Pea (Seedling No. 211): — 
His Grace The Duke of Buccleuch’s Head Gardener writes: — “International Pea is a good exhibition Pea, pods 6 inches 
long, containing 10 Peas, equal sized, good colour, fine flavour. This Pea has cropped better than some other good Peas 
this adverse season.” — Mr. James Whytock. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Sandwich’s Head Gardener writes: — “This Pea has done extraordinarily well this season; 
pods very dark green, long and curved, with a true marrowfat flavour. A tall Pea of first-rate quality, indispensable to 
exhibitors.” — Mr. Hansford. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Kimberley’s Head Gardener writes: — “International Pea. Very good quality, growing 
5 feet high; the pods a dark green and well filled; heavy cropper. A Pea worth growing.” — Mr. W. N. Thurston. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Mansfield’s Head Gardener writes: — “Carter’s International. This is a first-class Pea 
for second early, of fine strong haulm, very free cropper, large pods of fine large Peas, about nine to the pod; excellent in 
quality, is well worth a place in any garden; tall grower.” — Mr. W. Ward. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Abingdon’s Head Gardener writes: — “International Pea is one of the best Peas I know 
of; good cropper and splendid quality, running Quite Content very close.” — Mr. W. Brown. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Downe’s Head Gardener writes: — "Carter’s International is a splendid Pea, a great producer 
of pods; the Peas are of deep green colour and excellent flavour, containing nine to eleven Peas. A fine Pea for exhibition.” 
— Mr. F. Clipstone. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener writes: — “International Pea. Height, 6 feet. This variety 
has done remarkably well with me this season, having extra strong growth, the pods being very dark green, long and curved, 
chiefly in pairs, average 10, of excellent flavour. This is a very heavy cropper for a second early, and for exhibition purposes 
cannot be excelled, coming next to Quite Content in my estimation. Can speak very highly of it as one of the best in culti- 
vation.” — Mr. Quainton. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener writes: — “This Pea has done extraordinarily well this season. It is quite distinct, 
and has gained a good name hereabouts. I have given a few seeds to small growers, who were charmed with it. It had 10 
and 11 Peas in a pod, of a beautiful green, had a true Marrowfat flavour; bears in pairs, and most prolific. It has certainly 
come to stay.” — Mr. W. A. Cook. 
Admiral Brand’s Head Gardener writes: — “ International , surely the last word as far as size and quality are concerned; 
free cropping, hanging mostly in pairs, with fine dark-marbled foliage, withstanding mildew well. Height, 5 feet. This 
is a Pea that must push its way to front rank; indispensable to exhibitors, many of the pods over 6 inches in length.” — 
Mr. W. Back. 
"A fine bearer and a strong grower; the flavour of the Peas should attract particular notice as the best of that class.” — 
Mr. James Lawson, The Gardens, Horticultural College, Swanlev.
