bring to the notice of our 
customers this climbing 
stringless variety which 
we strongly recommended. 
It bears jround pods so 
freely produced that we 
have counted as many as 
40 on a stalk. It holds 
well to the sticks, and is 
the earliest Bean we know. 
A wonderful requisition to 
the climbing class.

green- podded sort. The 
vines make a very vigorous

117 Carters Scarlet Emperor. — ( Longest Smooth-nodded Scarlet 
Runner). — Fully maintains its great reputation, and its popular- 
ity. Our customers’ reports of this striking Bean, still endorse 
the experts’ opinion previously issued. Not only is this Bean of 
the utmost importance as a prize winner, but its smooth and tender 
texture places it far above all other Scarlet Runners. Its long 
handsome pods often measuring 14 inches, hang in great clusters; 
it has been estimated that the produce from Carters Scarlet Em- 
peror is three times as great in bulk as may be expected from the 
ordinary Scarlet Runner, and all of the most refined quality. 
124 Carters Jubilee Runner. (The Largest Podded White-seeded 
Runner Bean) . — This extraordinary Bean still remains one of 
the best. Carters Jubilee Runner produces an enormous crop of 
immense pods, which are thick and unusually fleshy, the flavour 
being all that is desired. Many prizes reported by customers 
laBt season.

0 EEXSb Cultural Hints . — The seed should be sown as soon as 
* the ground can be worked in spring until July in’rich 
soil that has been well trenched and manured. Let therows 
be about 18 in. apart, thin them out to allow about 6 in. between 
the plants, and keep the soil well cultivated during the growing season. 
1 oz. of seed will sow 50 ft. of drill, 5 to 6 lb. per acre.

6 Carters Crimson Ball. — A round summer variety. Round 
Beets are of the greatest value on account of earliness. The roots 
can be lifted during the height of the summer season when salads 
are in demand; and the fresh taste imparted by the highly- 
coloured slices is considered preferable to that from stored roots. 
In Carters Crimson Ball all defects have been remedied. Fine 
specimens of this variety have been exhibited in Gold Medal 
Collections during the past few seasons. 
7 Carters Dainty. — This is a small-growing variety of more than 
ordinary merit. It has long tender roots of a splendid deep 
crimson colour, and of the finest flavour possible. In naming it 
Dainty , we wish to convey the extremely refined quality of this 
variety; it does not attain to the size of our Perfection, but is of 
a finer quality. Shown in seven Gold Medal Exhibits during the 
past two years.

nificent show variety. 
Carters Selected Stock, Crosby's Egyptian. — This well- 
known Beet is recognized by beet growers in general as the stand- 
ard of the early varieties. The roots are round and run very

and late crops. A general favourite.

reality a Beet in which cultivation has developed the leaves
