954 Model Telephone, Carters {Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 
5 ft.). — A re-selection for robustness and delicacy of flavour from 
Telephone, a maincrop wrinkled Marrow, which bears to-day a 
world-wide reputation. It is remarkably prolific, bearing large 
pods of very attractive appearance. l J or soils of a light nature 
we strongly recommend this variety. Peas wrinkled, nine to 
eleven in a pod ; delicious when cooked. {See Photograph.)

959 Pride of the Market, Carters. (Ht. 14 to 2 ft.).— A fine 
maincrop blue Marrowfat Pea, belonging to the same family from 
which our Stratagem was selected, being a strong grower it 
requires to be thinly sown. 4-pint, 1/- ; pint. 1/9; quart, 3/- 
951 Quite Content, Carters.— A giant-podded maincrop. deep 
green. Pods longer and larger than any other Pea in cultivation. 
Awarded First Class Certificate 
of the Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety. Ht. 5 to 6 ft. This grand 
Pea. which has caused such a 
stir in the horticultural world, 
is the outcome of a cross be- 
tween Alderman and Edwin 
Beckett. In general character 
it resembles the former, but the 
pods are considerably larger than either parent. In our own 
trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful superiority, and 
when exhibited in the open class at Shrewsbury, it easily secured 
the First Prize, and was pro- 
nounced by leading experts to 
be without doubt the finest Pea 
ever seen. It is exceedingly pro- 
lific. and the pods hang mostly 
in pairs. During the past few 
seasons this magnificent Pea has 
been included in exhibits 
awarded 12 Gold Medals and a total of 626 First Prizes reported 
by customers in all parts of the country. 
The Largest Podded Pea. — “ I have tried Carters Quite 
Content Pea. which is without doubt the largest podded Pea I 
know of.”— Mr. James Gibson, Head Gardener to His Grace the 
Duke of Portland. 
An Amateur's Description. — “ You have been kind enough 
to highly commend my garden peas Quite Content. They 
were sown in a box and put in a deeper one with an odd piece 
of glass over the top. When up a few inches were hardened 
off and planted in the open ground about 12 inches, about on 
Faster Saturday, 22nd April. 1916. As you know, I have had no 
experience with vegetables at all, but cultivate flowers rather 
well for an amateur. The row is 12 yards long and had 51 pea 
plants, afterwards reduced to 47,4 went wrong. The enclosed 
photograph was taken on July 22nd. Owing to the light it could 
only be taken one side of row. the other side has twice the crop. 
They grew 10 feet high when they were pinched at the top and 
cropped from 2 feet upward as thick as they could hang. No 
side shoots or laterals were removed, peas were picked July 12th, 
15th, and 22nd, and there is still an immense crop. Laterals keep 
flowering and carry large pods. I took them to Klstree Show on 
July 12th, when the judges informed me they were the best in 
the tents. These pods nearly all measured 7 inches and quite 
full. The majority are 64 to 6$ inches.” — T. K. Fames.

LATER MAINCROP 
GARDEN PEAS. 
989 Anticipation, Carter’s Re-selected (Wrinkled Marrow- 
fat. Ht. 3 ft .). — Anticipation grows to a height of about 3 ft., 
and sown at the usual season it comes into bearing early in July. 
The foliage is of a medium shade of colour, the habit robust, 
with immense straight pods containing peas of an exquisite 
flavour when cooked. A grand dry-weather Pea and resister of 
mildew. Per 4-pint, 1/2 ; per pint, 21- ; per quart, 3/6 
98S Battleship, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.). — 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. The blunt-ended 
pod of this robust Marrowfat Pea is one of its peculiarities. The 
fine dark green pods, which hang in pairs, are filled with large 
peas of a rich flavour and a bright green colour when served at 
table ; the haulm is exceedingly strong, and stands both drought 
and mildew better than most others. The Royal Horticultural 
Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says Carters Battle- 
ship.— Ht. 5 ft. Haulm and pods pale green ; pods in pairs ; 
heavy crop.” Per 4-pint, 1/9 ; per pint, 31- 
987 Danby Stratagem, Carters Rc-sclected (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 24 ft.).— Award of Merit. Royal Horticultural 
Society. A distinct improve- 
ment on the original Strata- 
gem, having longer, straig liter, 
and broader pods, very freely 
produced. The haulm is very 
robust, and extends to a height 
of 24 ft., being a profusion of 
immense pods, many 6 in. in length, and frequently containing 
ten large full-flavoured marrow peas. Per 4-pint, 1/9 : per pint, 3 1 -

LATE GARDEN PEAS. 
1009 Autocrat (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 4 ft.). — Excellent 
cropper, deep green pods. Per 4-pint, 1/6; pint, 2/6; quart. 4/6 
Dreadnought, Carters (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 3 ft.).— This remarkable 
new late Pea has been selected by us as a 
grand edition to the late maincrop section. It is the practice of 
our house to make comparative tests of all the new Peas intro- 
duced by growers both at home and abroad. After careful com- 
parison we have failed to find a Pea that pleases us more as a 
variety to come in between the maincrops and the very late Peas 
than Dreadnought. It has large bold pods well filled with Peas 
of delicious flavour. We have been instrumental in introducing 
many Peas which have become standard varieties, such as 
Telephone, Telegraph , Stratagem, Pride of the Market, and 
Daisy, known all over the world, and we undertake to prophesy 
that this novelty is destined to take an equally permanent place, 
not onlv among amateurs, exhibitors, and connoisseurs at the 
table, but also as a profitable market Pea. Its large, deep green, 
well-filled pods, and its resistance to mildew and drought are its 
distinguishing characteristics. Per 4-pint. 1/9 ; per pint. 31- 
1007 The Gladstone, Carters Re-selected ( Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 4 ft.).— A fine late variety, bearing long sickle- 
shaped pods, dark in colour, very prolific. Fine for exhibition. 
Per 4-pint, 1/6 ; per pint. 2/6 
Latest Giant, Carters (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 4 ft.).— This splen- 
did late Marrowfat Pea is the outcome 
of a cross between Gladstone and 
Exhibition, and has been exhibited 
in our Testing Grounds and at various 
Royal Horticultural Society Shows 
under Seedling No. 241. It is an all-round grand selection. 
The above are packed 
possessing the free podding and strong habit of Gladstone, 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 by the name Latest Giant. 
Per 4-pint. 1/9 ; per pint, 3/- 
1008 Ne Plus Ultra, Carters Re-selected ( Wrinkled Marrow- 
fat. Ht. 6 ft.). This is a highly selected stock of an old and 
favourite variety ; it is exceedingly prolific, bearing blunt-ended 
pods with Peas of very fine flavour. A splendid Pea for late 
crops. Per 4-pint. 1/3; per pint, 2/3; per quart, 4/- 
1011 Ne Plus Ultra— Original Stock (Wrinkled. Ht. 6 ft.).— 
A fine late Pea. Fine flavour. 
Per 4-pint. 1/-; per pint, 1/9; per quart. 3/3 
1010 Latest of All (Wrinkled. Ht. 3 ft.).— A very prolific Pea. a 
later type of Autocrat. Pods like Ne Plus Ultra. 
Per 4-pint, 1/-; per pint. 1/9; per quart. 3/3 
1006 Michaelmas, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 24 ft.). 
—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 Carters Michaelmas Pea 
is not run through in straw, but we have fixed a dwarf bushy 
growth of 24 ft., 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 v 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: — 
"Carters Michaelmas.— Ht. 24 ft. ; haulm and pods very dark 
green ; very sturdy ; pods in pairs ; heavy crop.” 
Per 4-pint.. 1/9 ; per piut. 31- 
in 6d. 1/- and 1/6 packets 
and in other quantities as above.
