The new large-podded early white round Pea; hardy. 
880 Carters Giant Blue Express ( Blue Round. Ht. 3 to 4 ft.). — 
Identical in size with Giant Lightning. The new large-podded 
early blue round Pea. 
885 The Pilot, Carters Re-selected (Round Seeded. Ht. 3 ft.). — 
This well-known variety has been carefully selected by us, and is 
without question the most perfect stock on the market; it pro- 
duces large, well-filled, deep-coloured pods, about the size of 
Gradus. 
888 Gradus (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 4 ft.). — An early large- 
podded Marrow Pea. Large deep-green pods, good flavour. 
883 Carters Lightning (Round Seeded. Ht. 2\ ft.). — A reselected 
stock of the earliest white round-seeded Pea. 
884 Carters American Wonder, Re-selected (Wrinkled Marrowfat. 
lit. 1J ft.). — An early dwarf Marrow. Our stock of this variety 
is highly selected, and is in every way far superior to the older 
stock, having pods nearly as large again; handsome in appearance 
with Peas of very fine flavour. 
905 English Wonder (Wrinkled. Ht. 1 ft.). — A popular early 
Marrow, very prolific; deep green pods; compact. 
902 Earliest of All or Alaska (Blue Round. Ht. 2 ft.). — A well- 
known extra early round blue Pea, which produces Peas in great 
quantity. The seed can be planted as soon as the ground is fit to 
work in spring time. 
912 Notts Excelsior (Wrinkled. Ht. 1J ft,.). — An improved type of 
Little Gem, being as early and pods decidedly larger, and con- 
taining 7 to 9 large solid Peas of fine quality. 
913 Excelsior, Carters Pwarff Improved ( Wrinkled . Ht. 1J ft.). — 
Very early and prolific, producing an abundance of broad pods 
well filled with Peas of an unsurpassed flavour. Of so hardy a 
nature that this sort can be planted without fear at the same 
time as the smooth round varieties. The haulm is very stout, 
and all in all this is a very near all-round Pea for any garden.

SECOND EARLY GARDEN PEAS. 
924 Carters Palsy (Wrinkled. Ht. 1 i ft.). — The most famous 
second early Marrowfat in cultivation. First Class Certificate, 
R.H.S. 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 li ft. high. The haulm is very robust, and the 
crop of giant, well-filled pods of good colour is enormous. Visitors 
to Leamington Show in 1913 will remember the very fine pods 
of this remarkable Pea contained in our Exhibit of Vegetables, 
which was awarded the Gold Medal. An excellent forcing Pea. 
961 Carters Buttercup (Round Blue. Ht. 1$ to 2 ft.). — A hardy 
type of Daisy Pea. May be described as an early maincrop; fine 
robust habit, long well-filled pods, produced in pairs, averaging 
10 Peas in each; remarkably free bearing. The large deep-green 
seed, which is almost round, retains the sweet marrowfat flavour 
when cooked. This fine Pea was much admired at Bristol Royal 
Show, where we were awarded a Gold Medal and Silver Cup. 
936 Horsford’s Market Garden. — A very productive sort, much 
used by canncrs. Pods medium size, and produced near top of 
vine. Quality higl^. Ht. 2$ ft. 
933 Dwarf Champion, Rice’s Improved. — A very fine second 
early Pea of highest quality. Ht. 2$ ft. 
932 Thomas Laxton. — Similar to Gradus, but with blunt rather 
than pointed pods. Hardy and productive. Ht. 3 ft.

MAINCROP GARDEN PEAS. 
CARTERS " QUITE CONTENT” MARROWFAT PEA. 
A Giant Podded Maincrop. 
Pods longer and larger than any ether Pea in cultivation. 
951 Carters Quite Content (Maincrop Marroufat. Ht. 5 to 6 ft.) 
— This grand Pea, which has cause, d such a stir in the horticul-. 
tural world, is the outcome of a cross between Alderman and 
Edu in Beckett. In general character it resembles the former, 
but the pods arc considerably larger than either parent. In our 
own trials it has amply demonstrated its wonderful superiority, 
and when exhibited in the open class at Shrewsbury it easily 
secured the First Prize, and was pronounced by leading experts 
to be without doubt the finest Pea ever seen. It is exceedingly 
prolific, and the pods hang mostly in pairs. Supply limited.

"We had most excellent success with Messrs. Carters seeds 
last year, which were obtained direct from London, but we hope 
to do even better fcthis year. The Quite Content Marrowfat Pea 
is without a peer in this district, and if we get as good results this 
year we hope to exhibit a few locally.” 
Mr. F. L. Lee, Kamloops, B.C. 
"I have great pleasure in sending, under separate cover, one 
dozen peas grown from your seed named Quite Content, and the 
name is right. I have had an immense crop. The show of peas 
was so great that I had the row photographed. The rest of the 
seeds did well.” — Mr. S. Norfolk, Haileybury, Ont. 
See page 86 for Carters White Clover Perfume. 
"I was very pleased with the seeds I had from you. Out of 
the common are Broad Beans, and the Quite Content Pea, some 
of which measure 5 and 6 in. in length. All arc greatly admired 
here in the West; sprouts and savoys, &c., seem quite unknown. 
I am sure your seeds cannot be beaten.” 
Mr. H. J. Coote, Humboldt, Sask. 
963 Alderman (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.). — Very fine Pea 
of splendid quality; large deep-green pods. 
987 Carters Danby Stratagem, Re-selected Stock (Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 2\ ft.). — Award of Merit, R.H.S. A distinct 
improvement on the original Stratagem, having longer, straighter, 
and broader pods very freely produced. The haulm, is very 
robust, and extends to a height of 2$ ft., bearing a profusion of 
immense pods, many 6 in. in length, and frequently containing 
10 large full-flavoured Marrow peas. 
992 Carters Champion of England (Wrinkled. Ht. 5 ft.). — 
Prolific and hardy; small pod. 
962 Carters Commonwealth (Wrinkled Marroivfat. Ht. 2 ft.) 
— We have a most perfect re-selected stock of this popular main- 
crop Pea. It is a strong grower and a prolific bearer of large 
exhibition pods of a fine deep colour, besides being a first-class 
table Pea. Strongly recommended. 
998 Stratagem (Wrinkled Marroivfat. Ht. 1} to 2 ft.). — Original 
stock of this fine dark-green podded Pea, which was introduced 
by us several years ago, and still holds a world-wide reputation. 
954 Carters Model Telephone (Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.). 
— A re-selection for robustness and delicacy of flavour from 
Telephone, a maincrop wrinkled Marrow, which bears to-day a 
world-wide reputation. It is remarkably prolific, bearing large 
pods of very attractive appearance. For soils of a light nature 
we strongly recommend this variety. Peas wrinkled, 9 to 11 in. a 
pod; delicious when cooked. 
974 Telephone (Wrinkled. Ht. 5 ft.). — Large pods, prolific; suitable 
for light soils. 
Carters Model Telegraph. — 5 ft. a selection from our original 
telegraph and very valuable as a table pea; is a finelsize and
