LATE WRINKLED PEA — Continued, 
NEW 
Gladstone Exhibition 
Carter’s Latest Giant 
Carter’s Latest 
Giant 
( Wrinkled , 4 feet) 
This splendid late 
Pea is the outcome 
of a cross between 
Gladstone and Exhibi- 
tion in 1903, and has 
been exhibited in our 
Trial Grounds and 
at various Royal Hor- 
ticultural Society 
vShows under Seedling 
No. 241. It is an 
all-round grand selec- 
tion, possessing the 
free podding and 
strong habit of Glad- 
stone, but bearing 
handsome, well-filled 
pods very much larger 
than that excellent 
variety. The pods 
invariably contain 
eleven large deep- 
coloured Peas. It is 
fit for exhibition and 
unequalled for market. 
It is well described bv 
the name Latest Giant. 
Price, .75 per qt. ; .40 
per pt. ; .25 per plct. 
Under date October 26, 
1912. 
In many gardens this 
season the Pea crop has 
been anything but satis- 
factory, but with the re- 
turn of more seasonable 
weather during part of 
August and throughout 
September our late varie- 
ties seem to have deter- 
mined to grow again in a 
normal fashion. Quite the 
best of them was Latest 
Giant, sent out a short time 
ago by Carters, of Raynes 
Park. It proved to be 
an exceptionally strong 
grower, quite outclassing 
four others grown along- 
side it under similar 
conditions. On October 
9th we picked nearly half a bushel from a very short row; some of the pods were almost 6 inches long, and eleven Peas in 
a pod was quite a common thing. Another remarkable thing about this variety was that, although cropping so freely, it 
continued to grow and produce flowers and seed pods well; in fact, at the time of writing, everything points to a good picking 
from this row in November. 1 may add that the seed was sown on June 19th, and beyond deep digging and early mulching 
no attention was given it. Had feeding been resorted to, the pods would possibly have been even larger. As it was, the 
height was 4 feet, while very few single pods were produced. — F. R. Castle in The Gardener. •
