91 Longsword, Carters Re-selccted.— 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.

NOVELTY. 
Magpie, Carters (The new longstand- 
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

96 Monster Long-podded Negro.— A decided advance on the 
ordinary variety, bearing larger and thicker pods.

85 Perpetual, Carters.— The Royal Horticultural Society have 
recently granted their I ; irst 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.II.S., the most favourably 
disc ssed being Carters Perpetual, shown as seedling No. 249.

86 | j Sunrise, Carters . For forcing or out- 
1 ‘ I 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, R.II.S. . 1913, and confirmed by the 
Society, July, 1914. (See Photograph.) Per pkt. 1/-; per pint. 2/6 
83 I maveltv I White Model, Carters. — The earliest of 
* I all the white-seeded varieties. The result 
of a cross between Carters Sunrise and 
Improved Longszvord. Habit compact, pods long, straight, and 
excellent quality, a remarkable good forcing variety, and a truly 
refined Bean. A great improvement on White Advancer. ( See 
Photograph.) Per pkt., 1/-; per pint, 2/6 
STRINGLESS VARIETIES. 
88 Canadian Glory, Carters 8tringless.— 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.) 
Per i-pint, 1/2; per pint. 2/-; per quart, 3/9 
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. (See Photograph.)

CLIMBING FRENCH BEANS. 
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 
not need such tall stakes. 
107 July Climbing, with stringless pods, Carters.— A 
climbing striugless 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 ” (See Photograph.) 
Per i-pint, 1/2 ; per pint, 2/- ; per quart. 3/9 
Scarlet Runners, only that they do not grow quite so robust and do 
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.

RUNNER BEANS. 
French— Haricots a raraes. 
The Cultivation of Runner Beans .— Runner Beans should be planted out of doors during May, followed by successional sowings at 
intervals of a fortnight; by this means an abundant supply is provided until the plants are destroyed by the autumn frosts. Care should be 
taken when planting that sufficient space is allowed between the rows (say 3 feet), and 12 inches from plant to plant in the rows,. and the plants 
should be well-watered in dry weather or the flowers will drop off. If slugs are troublesome during the young stage of growth, dust over with 
soot and lime.

ment upon the old type, producing a great profusion of large
