borders, followed by two or three successional sowings at intervals of a fortnight. The rows ought to be from 2 ft. to 2J ft. apart, and the plants 
thinned to about 1 ft. apart. They are rather delicate, and should not be sown out of doors until the warm weather sets in.

82 Carters Canadian Express. — This fine new Bean will 
undoubtedly rank as the finest of the large-podded early French 
Beans, one of its parents being 
our selected Canadian Wonder, 
as shown at side. The Beans 
are equally as long as those of 
that celebrated variety, but fit 
for picking quite 14 days earlier.

85 Perpetual, Carters. — The Royal Horticultural Society have 
recently granted their First Class Certificate to this fine intro- 
duction. in addition to two previous Awards of Merit, a truly 
unique recognition. This remarkable Bean is strongly recom- 
mended as being in every way a great acquisition; it is of very 
compact growth, the foliage of an attractive dark green, and the 
pods are of medium size. The most important features are the 
prolonged period this variety continues to bear, and its remark- 
able quality for withstanding hot and dry seasons. Pods were 
picked in our Testing Grounds earlier than other varieties, and 
young tender beans were gathered after most other sorts were 
quite finished. We exhibited about 50 pots of French Beans at 
an early August meeting of the R.H.S., the most favourably 
discussed being Carters Perpetual, shown as seedling No. 249.

86 I j Sunrise, Carters . For forcing or out- 
doors. A distinct and valuable first 
early Dwarf French Bean raised at our 
grounds from the result of a cross between Ne Plus Ultra and 
Carters Perpetual. Carters Sunrise is a most valuable 
addition, for it not only possesses the good forcing quality of the 
Ne Plus Ultra, but is a much better cropper, and produces 
larger and superior pods; very compact growth and remarkably 
early. Award of Merit, K.H.S.. 1913, and confirmed by the 
Society, July, 1914. (See Photograph.) Per pkt. 1/-; per pint, 2/6

89 I I Magpie, Carters (The new Dongstand. 
I * 1 ing variety). — This remarkably fine Dwarf 
Bean, which has attracted such favourable 
attention in our trials at Raynes Park for the past few seasons, 
and granted an Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural 
Society, July. 1914, was raised in France by an expert grower, who 
considered it the finest bean of its class. We have re-selected and 
grown it on for some years, until it has become equally good here 
in all seasons, producing heavy crops when other varieties are 
damaged or fail. It is also an excellent forcer. In habit it some- 
what resembles our celebrated Perpetual, but is a heavier 
cropper, the pods larger and longer, but equal quality and 
flavour. We strongly recommend this introduction. (See 
Photograph.) Per pkt., 1/-; per pint, 2/6 
90 Canadian Wonder, Carters. — We were one of the first to 
make the merits of this fine Dwarf Bean known, and its 
popularity to-day is probably unequalled. Our stock is the finest 
obtainable, and produces an abundance of very long fleshy pods, 
making it a great favourite both for table and exhibition. 
Included in our Gold Medal Collection, Cardiff, 1914. 49 First 
Prizes reported in one season. Highly commended Royal 
Horticultural Society, 1920.

91 Longsword, Carters Re-selected. — This variety has 
been improved and re-selected, and as now offered is one of 
the largest podded French 
Beans on the market ; the 
pods, produced in great 
profusion, are of quite 
remarkable length and 
substance. Exhibitors 
should not fail to grow 
this variety where space is not limited ; a certain prize-winner.

STRINGLESS VARIETIES. 
88 Canadian Glory, Carters Stringlcss. — An extra early 
dwarf green-podded French Bean, possessing the invaluable 
quality of bearing pods absolutely without strings or threads. It 
is equally valuable eaten as a Flageolet or Haricot, as on the 
Continent. (See Photograph .)

87 Holborn Wonder, Carters Stringless. — The great 
success which has attended our introduction of the first stringless 
Green-podded Bean, Carters Canadian Glory, has encouraged 
us to pursue our efforts in selecting Stringless Beans for general 
use. Our Holborn Wonder will be found to be free from threads, 
is quite distinct and very prolific.

Hints on Culture.— Sow in pots under glass wherever wanted, transplant In prepared beds for training, or grow on in larger pots. For 
outdoor culture they must not be sown until May is well in — very similar to Scarlet Runners, only that they do not grow quite so robust and do 
not need such tall stakes. 
109 Re selected Climbing French Beans, Carters. —The 
best of all the climbing long-podded varieties, particularly hardy, 
climbs well; pods long, straight, and resemble Canadian 
Wonder. Altogether an excellent variety of very robust habit.

107 July Climbing, with stringless pods, Carters.— A 
climbing stringless variety which we strongly recommend. It 
bears round pods so freely produced that we have counted as 
many as forty on a stalk. It holds well to the sticks, and is the 
earliest Bean we know. The R.H.S., reporting its trials at 
wisley. says;— “Carters July Climbing French Bean. — 
Flower white, height 3 ft., foliage dark green, pods long, thin, 
straight, averaging 6 in. in length, usually in pairs; good crop; 
pods stringless.”
