*72 Carters Eight Weeks ( Qrecn Round. Ht. 1} ft.).— This is 
the Earliest Dwarf Pea in the World, proved not only 
from our owu 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. Stock limited.

873 Carters Forcing Pea ( Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 1 ft.).— A 
valuable Marrowfat Pea for under-glass culture. Its stocky 
growth is rarely more than I ft. in height. It commends itself 
not only to professional gardeners who are required to produce 
peas nearly all the year round, but also to amateurs having a 
greenhouse 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.
