CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR. ™ W™ 
We have much pleasure in introducing a Scarlet Runner Bean capable of doubling the crop that would be 
expected from the ordinary variety. The handsome pods, often reaching 15 inches in length, hang in enormous 
clusters of long, straight pods of delicate texture more after the description of a French Bean (we have measured 
over 9 feet of pods on a bunch). Lord Poltimore’s Head Gardener suggests it should be called “Mammoth 
Cluster,” on this ac,count. Our stock is very limited, and as we are anxious that as many as possible of our 
customers should grow this remarkable Runner, we have, by special request, decided to offer the seed in small 
quantities, so that Carters Scarlet Emperor may flourish in as many gardens as possible during 1906.

This grand Pea, which has caused such a stir at several of the Exhibitions of the Royal Horticultural Society 
during the past season, is the outcome of a cross between Alderman and Edwin Beckett. In general character it 
resembles the former, but the pods are considerably larger than either parent. In our own trials, comprising 1,474 
so-called different sorts, it has amply demonstrated its wonderful Superiority', and when exhibited in the highest 
award collection at Chelsea (1905), it 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. Height 5 to 6 feet. 
Our stock of Seed is very limited, and a§ we are anxious that as many as possible should grow it we have 
decided to offer the supply ip sealed packets, price 1 « per 12 Seeds.
