961 Buttercup, Carters ( Round Blue. Ht. l£ to 2 ft.).— A hardy 
type of Daisy Pea. May be described as an early maincrop; 
fine robust habit, long well-filled pods, produced in pairs, aver- 
aging ten peas in each ; remarkably free bearing. The large 
deep-green seed, which is almost round, retains the sweet

our Exhibit at Ipswich. 11)21. 
Per i-pint, 1/6 ; per pint, 2/6; per quart, 4/6 
962 Commonwealth, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. lit.

maincrop Pea. It is a strong grower and a prolific bearer of 
large exhibition pods of a fine deep colour, besides being a first- 
class table Pea. Strongly recommended. (Photograph. Page 47.) 
Per i-pint, 1/6; per pint, 2/6; per quart, 4/6 
955 Duke of Albany, Carters Re-selected ( Wrinkled 
Marrowfat . lit. 5 ft.). — A great advance on the original stock, 
the pods being strajgliter and longer, and should be grown 
by all*who know the original variety. The Royal Horticultural 
Society, reporting its trials at Wisley, says:—* Carters Duke 
of Alhany Re-selected.— This 
is. a fine true stock of this now 
well-known excellent variety. 
Gold Medal awarded 1921, with 
Carters other varieties. 
Per i-pint, 1/6; per pint, 2/6; per quart, 4/6 
953 Exhibition, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.) — Seed 
large, green, and wrinkled. A magnificent Pea, the result of a 
selection from Carters Model Telephone, the selection having 
been made for the purpose of obtaining an Exhibition, Pea 
possessing all the good points of that celebrated variety, but 
bearing even a larger and richer-coloured pod. We claim that 
in every respect we have been successful. This superb variety 
bears immense rich deep-green pods, perfect in shape, and well 
filled with large green peas of excellent flavour. 82 First Prizes 
reported, and 2 Gold Medals. 1921. (Photograph, Page 47.) 
Per i-pint, 1/6 ; per pint. 2/9 ; per quart, 5/- 
960 Harvestman, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.).— 
This grand Pea. which is a cross between Express and Duke of 
Albany (Seedling No. 214), 
Express 4- Duke of Albany possesses all the qualities of 
v v Duke of Albany, but the pods 
Carters Harvestman are distinct in shape, more 
regular in growth, not finite 
so tall, and altogether superior. Its appearance and cronping 
qualities are far ahead of either Duke of Albany or Duchess, 
or any of a similar class, and 
we are confident that there is a 
great future before it. For mar- 
ket or garden it is a most profit- 
able Pea. {Photograph, page 45.) 
Per §-pint, 1/6 ; per pint, 2/9 ; per quart, 51- 
965 Improved Queen, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht.

Per i-pint, 1/3; per pint, 2/3; per quart, 4/3 
952 International, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 to 
6 ft.). — This magnificent Pea is the result of a cross between 
our well-known Early Morn 
Early Morn-fDuke of Albany and Duke of Albany. It is 
v v y quite distinct, both in shape 
Carters International of pod and habit ; the pods are 
of a rich deep green, containing 
eleven peas of excellent size and flavour. This is undoubtedly 
the largest curved pod Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the 
public ; it is quickly becoming the most famous early maincrop. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 211) were exhibited at 
the Royal Agricultural Society's Show at Newcastle, and at the 
Royal Horticultural Society’s Show at Holland House, and 
attracted much favourable attention. 
"I grew this variety last year 
and was greatly impressed with 
it as a first-rate cropping sort, 
and it has fully maintained this 
season the high opinion I formed 
of it then." — Mr. G. Taylor, Head Gardener to Sir J. F. 
Ramsden, Bart. 
NOTICE.— Our Stock of Seed this year is again 
very limited, and to give as many of our customers as possible 
the opportunity of growing this very fine Pea, we are distribut-

951 Quite Content, Carters. — A giant-podded maincrop, deep 
green. Pods longer and larger than ary 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 16 Gold Medals, and a total of 791 First Prizes reported 
by customers in all parts of the country. 
QUITE CONTENT. 
28th September, 1920. 
“ . . . I felt very proud about six weeks ago. but it was all 
knocked on the head a week after, and all over a packet of your 
Quite Content Pea. I had a small patch in my garden, and to 
my surprise I found, on one stem only, three peas measuring 
nine inches exact, and well filled. I cautioned all not to touch 
that pea, as I intended when fully ripe to send up the three 
peas — they were such a curiosity, but to my horror one morning 
I went down and found boys had broken into my garden to 
steal the apples, and I suppose the large peas caught their eye, 
as they also had disappeared. You can imagine how I felt. 
I showed them to several gardeners, and they could not believe 
they were peas until they had examined them. 
" Well, our show went off very well. I carried off 24 prizes — 
18 firsts, five seconds, and one third, all from Carters Seed. I 
had magnificent Sweet Peas. I„ord Ashdown got heaps of prizes 
also with your seeds. 
" Yours sincerely, (Signed) P. L. C. IIarpur.” 
“ 19th October, 1920. 
“Dear Madam, — The Peas Quite Content I saw in your garden 
were, without exception, the most wonderful I have ever seen. 
I was present when you measured them, and three of them were 
9 in. and well filled. Yours truly, Thos. Kilkenny, Gardener.”
