LATE GARDEN PEAS — Continued 
Carter’s Michaelmas ( Wrinkled , 2 x /i feet) ( see Photograph on page 93). — This grand Pea quite 
oversteps the boundary hitherto set by the times and seasons, and is absolutely distinct. Late 
varieties of Peas of past fame have been late mainly by reason of their strawy character. The 
constitution of Carter’s Michaelmas Pea is not run through in Straw, but we have fixed a dwarf, 
bushy growth of 2 x /i feet, which holds back its natural force and throws it into the pods ; consequently, 
while being very prolific, its colour in pod is of the deepest green, and its pods are large and well 
filled. We have proved this Pea to possess a reserve of strength which will enable it to resist the 
drought and the mildew to a degree hitherto unknown in a Pea. 
The Royal Horticultural Society, in its report of trials at Wisley, says: “Carter’s Michaelmas. 
Height, 2}/2 feet; haulm and pods very dark green; very sturdy; pods in pairs; heavy crop.” 
Price, .76 per qt. ; .40 per pt. ; .26 per pkt. 
Sir Edmund Loder’s Head Gardener says: — “Carter's Michaelmas is still to gather — September 21st — and what 
I said last year I maintain now, we shall have Peas till after Michaelmas, and this variety produces Peas of the very best 
quality.” — Mr. W. A. Cook.
