BROAD BEANS. 
French— F^ves de Marais. 
The Cultivation of Broad Beans.— Early Mazagan and Dwarf Fan Beans may be planted in November, and a second sowing made in 
February, the rows being about 15 in. apart ; to be followed by the Long-Podded and Windsor varieties to secure a succession. The later sorts 
should be about 6 in. from plant to plant, and 3 ft. from row to row. This crop succeeds best on deep rich soil in an exposed position. On light 
and dry soils it generally gets attacked by the black blight and spoils. When the points suffer from this pest it becomes imperative to pinch 
them out and burn them.

continue to re-select this well-known Broad Bean, the seeds being 
carefully selected from the finest pods taken from the most 
prolific plants, so that our customers may feel that they are 
growing really the very finest Broad Bean in cultivation. It 
cannot be excelled for table or exhibition. 145 First Prizes 
reported by customers in two seasons. Exhibited with Carters 
Vegetables at Cardiff, 1914, and awarded the Gold Medal. 
In the matter of earliness and continuous bearing it certainly 
outclassed its rivals, commencing to yield pods large enough 
for cooking early in July, and it was from the same row we 
picked our latest dish on August 10th. I feel sure a trial of this 
variety will not fail to give satisfactory returns."— F.R.C., in

65 Green Leviathan, Carters. — We introduced this fine Bean 
as a fitting companion to its prototype, Carters Leviathan 
(White-seeded). When we state that this Beau carries pods of 
equally enormous proportions, and has the additional advantage 
of a beautiful green colour, its merits will be at once recognised. 
Its flavour is most mellow and delicious. The Royal Horticul- 
tural Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says:— “Pods of 
great length, and one of the best of the long pod section; good 
crop.” Included in our Gold Medal Exhibit of Vegetables at 
Eastbourne, 1914, and 34 First Prizes awarded to our customers 
the same year. Peri-pint, 1/2; per pint, 2/-; per quart, 3/6

67 Masterpiece Longpod, Carters.— An exhibition Green 
Longpod Bean. It combines all the best properties of a first-class 
Broad Bean, and possesses the fine quality and flavour of the 
Green over the White Bean. It is most pr olific, a great part of 
the pods hanging in pairs.

56 New Colossal Windsor, Carters.— This immense Bean is. 
both in pod and seed, by far the largest Broad Bean ever raised. 
It was selected at our testing grounds, being the result of a cross 
made in 1905 between the old-fashioned Harlington Windsor and 
Carters Leviathan, and is a certain prize-winner. The seed is of 
abnormal size. .Stock very limited. ( See Photograph.) 
“ Much the finest Windsor Bean on the market ; pods unusually 
long and crop prodigious. Those who have a preference for the 
Windsors will hail this new comer with much satisfaction."—

making it a great favourite both for table and exhibition.
