In the trials of the Royal Horticultural Society we were granted

first-class representative of the forward section of Marrowfats, 
but has Ne Plus Ultra shaped pods of a beautiful lustrous green, 
filled with fine large sweet-eating peas.

Giant Lightning:, Carters, and Giant Blue Express, 
Carters. — barge-podded early round varieties, It is now many 
years since our House first introduced Carters Lightning (white 
round) and Carters Express (blue round), two Peas which soon 
became popular as the earliest of the white and blue round 
section. After several years’ patient labour we introduced the 
magnificent Peas, Giant Lightning and Giant Express. There 
is no doubt that these types displace the smaller podded varieties, 
as, in addition to the increased size of pod, the haulm is 
stronger, the cropping properties are much heavier, and the 
flavour is superior to the older varieties. In large establish- 
ments where Peas are required very early, these grand Giant 
introductions will be much appreciated, as it is well known that 
the round Peas are hardier and generally can be sown earlier 
than the wrinkled Marrowfat varieties.

Pea. A cross between Daisy and 
William Hurst. This is a fine 
variety, with long pointed pods twice 
the size of William Hurst and much 
more freely produced ; being one of the most prolific dwarf peas 
grown. The bine is robust, possessing the same healthy character 
as its most famous parent Daisy, with pods of similar character 
to that variety. Seed wrinkled. Most suitable lor forcing. 
This is the best Early Pea we have grown. We sowed it on 
the same day and on the same border with four other varieties, 
and it was the best in every way. It is a grand Pea. and should 
be grown by all lovers of a good dwarf Pea, especially those 
with small gardens.”— Mr. W. b. Bastin. Gardener to the Rt.

1 s ' ~ (.Seedling No. 208), This first early Pea 
Carters Snowdrop can best be described as an early Ne 
Plus Ultra, having pods similar in 
shape and colour to that variety. It is a few days later than our 
Early Morn, growing rather taller, but possessing the robust 
constitution of its other parent (Express). For early sowing we 
can strongly recommend.

SECOND EARLY GARDEN PEAS. 
924 Daisy, Carters (Wrinkled. Ht. 15 in.)— The most famous 
second early Marrowfat in cultivation. This grand dwarf 
Marrowfat Pea has been before the public for some years, and 
still stands at the head, as confirmed by the great independent 
trial of Peas conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
Their experiment comprised 
over 80 varieties, and Carters 
Daisy gained the First Class 
Certificate given by the Society. 
Carters Daisy Pea is an early 
maincrop, growing about 1.4 ft. 
high. The haulm is very 
robust, and the crop of giant, well-filled pods of good colour is 
enormous. An excellent forcing Pea.— " Carter Daisy Pea.— 
So many satisfactory accounts have been given in these pages of 
this variety of Pea that it may seem superfluous f o again write 
its praise, but having grown it for several seasons I can confi- 
dently recommend it as one of the best second early dwarf 
varieties at the present time. It is of robust growth, reaching 
nearly 3 ft. in height last year, but in ordinary summers the 
plants do not get much above 2 ft., and are literally crowded with 
fine pods nearly 6 in. long, each containing from eight to ten fine 
peas of excellent flavour. I have been much impressed by the 
length of time the pods will hang without getting dry. having 
saved the crop for seed. The pods are usually borne in pairs, 
and the raisers are certainly to be congratulated upon giving 
us such a good Pea. I advise those who have not yet grown this 
Pea to procure a quart of seeds from the raisers and sow as soon 
as the state of the soil will allow, and I will vouch for it they 
will not be disappointed.”— Mr. J. Mayne, in the Gardeners' 
Chronicle. (See Photograph .)
