BROAD BEANS. 
French— Ffcves de Marais. 
The Cultivation of Broad Beans. — Early Mazagan and Dwarf Fan Deans may be planted in November, and a second sowing made in 
February, the rows* being about IS in. apart; to be followed by the Long-Podded and Windsor varieties to secure a succession. The later sorts 
should be about t> in. from plant to plant, and It ft. front row to row. This crop succeeds best on deep rich soil in an exposed position. On light 
and dry sous 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. 
LONGPOD VARIETIES— WHITE-SEEDED.

46 Leviathan, Carters .— A champion Exhibition variety. We 
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 
The Gardener. ( See Photograph.)

LONGPOD VARIETIES— GREEN-SEEDED. 
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 Bean 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 F'xhibit of Vegetables at 
Eastbourne, 1914, and 34 First Prizes awarded to our customers 
the same year. Per 4-pi»t, 1/2; per pint, 2/-; per quart, 3/6 
67 Masterpiece Longpod, Carters.— An exhibition Green

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. 
I have had a splendid crop of your Colossal Bean this 
year. The pods and beans were immense.” — J. Hartley,

QUITE CONTENT. 
28th September. 1920. 
" . . . T felt very proud about six weeks ago, but it was all knocked oil the head a week after, and all over a packet of your 
Quite Content Pea. 1 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. 1 showed them 
to several gardeners, and they could not believe they were peas until they had examined them. . T , . 
" Well, our show went off very well. I carried off 24 prizes— IS firsts, five seconds, and one third, all from Carters Seed, l bad 
magnificent SWeet Pea*. Lord Ashdown got heaps of prizes also with your seeds. Yours sincerely, (Signed) P. L. C. Harpuk. ’ 
" 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. Thus. Kilkenny, Gardener.” 
(Sec page 37.) 
"20th October. 1920. 
" Dear Madam,— I have much pleasure in stating I saw your 
wonderful Peas growing in your garden. They were the finest 
I have ever seen, Carters Quite Content actually measuring 
9 in., and most of the pods measuring 7 and 8 in., and well filled. 
— Wm. Phelan, Gardener."
