FOR FORCING OR 
S7'j Eight Weeks, Carters {Green Round. Ht. lj ft.).— T his is 
the Earliest dwarf Pea in the World, proved not only 
from our own trials, but from the expert reports we receive from 
time to time. A very hardy Marrowfat, possessing all the good 
points of the best type American Wonder, which was one of its 
parents. As both a forcing and an early border variety it has 
become a boon to gardeners whose demands are heavy early in 
the season. The seed is slightly dented, and of the same colour 
as its other parent William the First. The pods are freely 
produced, and well filled with sweet-tasting peas. It is a 
splendid forcer. Per 4-pint, 1/6 ; per pint, 2/6 ; per quart, 4/6

876 Forcing: Pea., Carters ( Wrinkled Marrowfat. lit. I ft.'. 
A valuable Marrowfat Pea for under-glass culture. Its stocky 
growth is rarely more than 1 ft. in height. It commends itself 
not only to professional gardeners who are required to produce 
peas nearly the year round, but also to amateurs having a green- 
house or vinery doing practically nothing during the winter 
months, and who can. with this sturdy Pea, raise supplies for 
their table very early in the year.

$87 Daffodil, Carters ( Wrinkled Marrowfat. lit. 1 4 ft.).— A 
dwarf and very prolific Marrowfat Pea with the highest possible 
commendations, being of the rich deep 
colour of the Stratagem type, and a 
decided improvement upon British 
Wonder and the new types of English 
Wonder. It is a first early of bushy 
habit, and about lA ft., obviating the necessity for sticks and 
rendering it serviceable for borders. Its pods are larger than 
most of the well-known Peas of the early dwarf class, while the 
quality and flavour of the Pea is delicious. A well-known 
gardener reports that it forces well. ( See Photograph opposite.)

$75 Early Morn, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. lit. 3 ft.).— A 
Super n First Early Giant Marrowfat. This grand intro- 
duction maintains its position as one of the best early 
Marrowfat Peas ever raised. Although very early, the seed 
should not be sown until the soil is in a fit state to receive it in 
April, as it is a rapid grower. The pods are very large and well 
filled, and are often ready to pick during June. (Photograph

74 Giant Lightning:, Carters.— It is now many years since 
our House first introduced Carters Lightning (white round) 
and Carters Express (blue round), two Peas which soon became 
popular as the earliest of the white and blue round section. 
Afterseveral years’ patient labour we introduced the magnificent 
Peas Giant 'Lightning and Giant Express. There is no 
doubt that these types displace the smaller podded varieties, 
as. in addition to the increased size of pod. the haulm is 
stronger, the cropping properties are much heavier, and the 
flavour is superior to the older varieties. In large establish- 
ments where Peas are required very early, these grand Giant 
introductions will be much appreciated, as it is well known that 
the round Peas are hardier and generally can be sown earlier 
than the wrinkled Marrowfat varieties

$81 Mayflower, Carters ( Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 1-4 ft.). — 
A superb dwarf first early Marrowfat Pea. A cross between 
Daisy and William Hurst. This is a 
fine variety, with long pointed pods 
twice the size of William Hurst and 
much more freely produced ; being one 
of the most prolific dwarf peas grown. 
The bine is robust, possessing the same healthy character as 
its most famous parent Daisy, with pods of similar character 
to that variety. Seed wrinkled. Most suitable for forcing. 
"This is the best Early Pea we have grown. We sowed it on 
the same day and on the same border with four other varieties, 
and it was the best in every way. It is a grand Pea, and should 
be grown by all lovers of a good dwarf Pea, especially those with 
small gardens." —Mr. W. I,. Bastin, Gardener to the Kt. Hon.

899 Snowdrop, Carters ( Wrinkled Marrowfat. lit. 4 ft.). — 
Award of Merit. R.Il.S. A cross between Early Morn and 
Express (Seedling No. 208), This first 
early Pea can best be described as an 
early Ne Plus Ultra, having pods 
similar in shape and colour to that 
variety. It is a few days later than our 
Early Morn, growing rather taller, but possessing the robust 
constitution of its other parent (Express). For early sowing we 
can strongly recommend. (Photograph , page 42.)
