large exhibition pods of a fine deep colour, besides being a first- 
class table Pea. Strongly recommended. (See Photograph.) 
Peri-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 slraighter 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 Albany Re-selected. Duke 
of Albany received an A.M., 
July 5th, 1901. This is a fine true 
stock of this now well-known 
excellent variety.’’

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. 78 First Prizes 
reported dm ing 1920. (See Photograph .)

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 -f Duke of Albany possesses all the qualities of 
v Duke of Albany, but the pods 
Carters Harvestman are distinct in shape, more 
regular in* growth, not quite 
so tall, and altogether superior. Its appearance and cropping 
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 
market or garden it is a most 
profitable Pea. (See Photograph.)

" I grew this variety last year

Awarded F'irst Class Certificate 
of the Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety. lit. 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 12 Gold Medals and a total of 746 First Prizes reported 
by customers in all parts of the country.

Content Pea, which is without doubt the largest podded Pea I 
know of.”— Mr. James Giuson. Head Gardener to His Grace the 
Duke of Portland. 
An Amateur’s Description. -“ You have been kind enough 
to highly commend my garden peas Quite Content. They 
were sown in a box and put in a deeper one with an odd piece 
of glass over the top. When up a few inches were hardened 
off and planted in the open ground about 12 inches, about on 
Faster Saturday. 22nd April. 1916. As you know, I have had no 
experience with vegetables at all, but cultivate flowers rather 
well for an amateur. The row is 12 yards long and had 51 pea 
plants, afterwards reduced to 47.4 went wrong. The enclosed 
photograph was taken on July 22nd. Owing to the light it could 
only be taken one side of row, the other side has twice the crop. 
They grew 10 feet high when they were pinched at the top and 
cropped from 2 feet upward as thick as they could hang. No 
side shoots or laterals were removed, peas were picked July Pith, 
15th. and 22nd, and there is still an immensecrop. Laterals keep 
flowering and carry large pods. I took them to Flstree Show on 
July 12th, when the judges informed me they were the best in 
the tents. These pods nearly all measured 7 inches and quite 
full. The majority are 6i to 6j inches.”— '1'. H. Fames.
