ENGLISH DWARF OR BUSH. 
Thu Cultivation of Hush Braits.-Seed can be planted from the beginning of May until August but not until the soil becomes sufficiently 
warm as they are particularly sensitive to cold. Plant in drills li ft. apart, covering the seed about 2. in. Keep the soil well cultivated, using 
care to do so only at times when it is quite dry, as earth scattered oil moist foliage creates rust. 
French Beans for forcing may be sown in pots under glass from December to April or in the open ground from May 15th on through to 
AugusdTst These plants should be thinned to about 1 ft. apart. 1 qt. of Bush Beans will plant 100 ft. of drill. They are rather delicate, aim 
should not be sown out of doors until the warm weather sets in. 
Carters Magpie (the new longstanding 
variety). — This remarkably fine Dwarf 
Bean, which has attracted such favour- 
able attention in our trials at Raynes Park for the past few 
seasons, and granted an Award of Merit by the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society. July, 1914. was raised in France by an expert 
grower, who considered it the finest Beau of its class. We have 
re-selected it and grown it on for some s ears, 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 somewhat resembles our celebrated Perpetual, but is a 
heavier cropper, the pods also being’ larger and longer, although

85 Carters Perpetual.— F. C. Certificate. R.H.S.; Award of 
Merit. R.H.S.. as Seedling No. 249 ; Award of Merit to Carters 
Perpetual, 1913. This remarkable Bean is strongly recommended 
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 si/e. The most important features are the prolonged 
period this variety continues to bear, and its remarkable quality 
for withstanding hot and dry seasons. Pods were picked in our 
Testing Grounds at Raynes Park 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 Royal Horticultural Society, 
the most favourably discussed variety being Carters Perpetual, 
shown under Seedling No. 249. The Society have recently 
granted their First Class Certificate to this fine introduction, in

90 Carters Canadian Wonder. — We were one of the first to 
make the merits of this fine Dwarf Bean known, and its popu- 
larity to-day is probably unequalled. Our 'stock is the finest 
obtainable, and produces an abundance of very long fleshy pods, 
making it a great favourite both for table and exhibition. In- 
cluded in a Gold Medal Collection, and 49 First Prizes were 
reported by customers in one season.

doors. 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 Satirise 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.H.S. . 1913, and confirmed by the Society. July, 1914.

87 Carters Stringless Dwarf French Bean, Holborn 
Wonder. —The great success which has attended our intro-

Wonder will be found to be free from threads, is quite distinct 
and very prolific, and we confidently recommend it. 
88 Carters Stringless Dwarf French Bean, Canadian 
Glory. — An Extra Early Dwarf Green-podded French Bean,
