Awarded First 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 
Awarded First Class 
Certificateof the Royal 
Horticultural Society. 
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 692 First Prizes reported 
by customers in all parts of the country. 
The LARGEST Podded Pea. — “ I have tried Carters Quite 
Content Pea, which is without doubt the largest podded Pea I 
know of.”— Mr. James Gibson, 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 
Easter 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 12th, 
15th, and 22nd, and there is still an immense crop, kalends keep 
flowering and carry large pods. I took them to Klstree 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 6j to 6l inches.” — T. E- Fames.

cropper, deep green pods. Per 4-pint, 1/3 ; pint, 2/3 ; quart, 4/- 
Drcad nought, Carters (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. lit. 3 ft.). — This remarkable 
new late Pea has been selected by us as a 
grand edition to the late maincrop section. It is the practice of 
our house to make comparative tests of all the new Peas intro- 
duced by growers both at home and abroad. After careful com- 
parison we have failed to find a Pea that pleases us more as a 
variety to come in between the maincrops and the very late Peas 
than Dreadnought. It has large bold pods well filled with Peas 
of delicious flavour. We have been instrumental in introducing 
many Peas which have become standard varieties, such as 
Telephone, Telegraph, Stratagem, Pride of the Market, and 
Daisy, known all over the world, and we undertake to prophesy 
that this novelty is destined to take an equally permanent place, 
not only among amateurs, exhibitors, and connoisseurs at the 
table, but also as a profitable market Pea. Its large, deep green, 
well-filled pods, and its resistance to mildew and drought, are its 
distinguishing characteristics.

Latest Giant, Carters (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. III. 4 ft.). — This splen- 
did late Marrowfat Pea is the outcome 
of a cross between Gladstone and 
Exhibition, and has been exhibited 
in our Testing ('.rounds and at various 
Royal Horticultural Society Shows 
under Seedling No. 241. It is an all-round grand selection, 
possessing the free podding and strong habit of Gladstone, but 
bearing handsome well-filled pods very much larger than that 
excellent variety. The pods invariably contain eleven large 
deep-coloured Peas. It is fit for exhibition and unequalled for 
market. It is well described by the name Latest Giant.

1006 Michaelmas, Carters (Wrinkled Marrowfat . lit. 2-4 ft.). 
— This grand Pea quite oversteps the boundary hitherto set by 
the times and seasons, and is absolutely distinct. Late varieties 
of Peas of past fame have been late mainly by reason of their 
strawy character. The constitution of Carters Michaelmas Pea 
is not run through in straw, but we have fixed a dwarf bushy 
growth of 24 ft., which holds back its natural force and throws 
it into the pods ; consequently, while being very prolific, its 
colour in pod is of the deepest green, and its pods are large and 
well filled. We have proved this Pea to possess a reserve of 
strength which will enable it to resist the drought and the 
mildew to a degree hitherto unknown in a Pea. The Royal 
Horticultural Society, in its report of trials at Wisley. says: — 
"Carters Michaelmas. — Ht. 24 ft. : haulm and pods very dark 
green; very sturdy ; pods in pairs ; heavy crop.”
