The Cultivation of Runner Beans . —Runner Beans should be planted out of doors during May. followed by successional sowings at 
intervals of a fortnight ; by this means an abundant supply is provided until the plants are destroyed by the autumn frosts. Care should be 
taken when planting that sufficient space is allowed between the rows (say 3 feet), and 1 2 inches from plant to plant in the rows, and the plants 
should be well-watered in dry weather or the flowers will drop off. If slugs are troublesome during the young stage of growth, dust over with 
soot and lime.

117 Scarlet Emperor, Carters. (The Tong Smooth-Podded 
Scarlet Runner).— Fully maintains its great reputation, and 
its popularity still increases, as our 
sales strikingly show. Reports, and 
our customers' appreciation of this 
striking Bean, still endorse the 
experts' opinion previously issued. 
At the Exhibitions Scarlet EmPeror is still the favourite Runner 
Bean, and our records of first prizes gained all over the country 
confirm the first season’s report as being the finest Scarlet 
Runner introduced. Not only is this Bean of the utmost 
importance as a prizewinner, but its smooth and tender texture 
places it far above all other Scarlet Runners. Its long handsome 
pods, often measuring 15A inches, hang in great clusters, and it 
lias been estimated that the produce from Carters Scarlet 
EmPeror is twice as great in bulk as may be expected from the 
ordinary type of Scarlet Runner, and all of the most refined 
quality. 781 First Prizes reported. (.See Photograph .) 
“ Your Scarlet EmPeror Runner Beans have done splendid. I 
have never seen any to equal them in height or size of pods, the 
best I know.” — Mr. A. W. Perry, Head Gardener to The Right 
Hon. The Earl of Jersey. 
Included in 4 Gold Medal Collections of Carters Vegetables 
during 1921. 
NOTE. — Our stock is rigidly selected and only grown under our 
own special supervision, we therefore warn our customers 
against the many substitutions now on the market.

123 Red Giant, Carters (The Largest and Longest Podded 
Runner Bean in the World).— T his grand variety was offered 
by us some few seasons back as being 
even larger podded than our famous 
Scarlet Emperor : in consequence we 
had a great demand, and we have been 
able to publish, through the courtesy 
of many of the leading gardeners, appreciative opinions from 
various parts of the country, all endorsing the great merits of 
this fine Bean. We are confident that, once grown, other 
varieties will speedily be displaced, as Red Giant is not only the 
largest podded, but also the most prolific and early variety in 
commerce. We must, however, point out that it is not quite so 
smooth skinned as our Scarlet Emperor. ( See Photograph.) 
“ Carters Red Giant. I consider this Bean equal to anything 
on the market. It produces handsome pods fit for exhibition, is 
a very heavy cropper, and its table qualities are first class.”— 
Mr. H. W. Blake, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. The Karl 
of Onslow.” 
“Red Giant Runner Bean. — ' This fine Runner Bean has again 
this season proved its worth and kept its already high standard 
as a fine setter and a heavy cropper. The clusters have been very 
large and pods handsome, being very straight, many measuring 
14 in. long. It is much larger than Scarlet Emperor, and the 
tenderness of the pods is most noticeable, and I have no hesita- 
tion in saying that it is a most remarkable bean of recent intro- 
duction.'' —Mr. Quainton, Head Gardener to The Right Hon. 
Viscount Midleton. Per pkt., 1/-; per pint, 2/9; per quart, 51-
