stock, having pods nearly as large again; handsome in appearance 
with Peas of very fine flavour.

Marrow, very prolific; deep green pods: compact.

SECOND EARLY GARDEN PEAS. 
924 Carters Daisy {Wrinkled. Ht. lift.).—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, Carters Daisy Pea is an early maincrop, 
growing about lift. high. The haulm is very robust, and the 
crop of giant well-filled pods of good colour is enormous. An ex¬ 
cellent forcing Pea. 
Market Gardener, Carters 
{Second Early Wrinkled, Ht. 
5 ft.). — Deep green pods, 
curved. An entirely new 
type of Pea for market 
work, or for gardens where 
quantities are required for 
large households. Although 
a large and deep green pod, 
it does not equal the size of 
our popular exhibition and 
table varieties, but it is 
remarkably prolific, yielding 
25 per cent, more than the Duke of Albany, Alderman or other 
popular Market Peas. We hope to offer it in large quantities, for 
we believe it will supersede all other market garden varieties. 
961 Carters Buttercup {Round Blue. Ht. lj 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. 
936 Horsford’s Market Garden. — A very productive sort, much 
used by canners. Pods medium size, and produced near top of 
vine. Quality high, 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.

CARTERS “QUITE CONTENT” MARROWFAT PEA. 
A Giant Podded Maincrop. 
Pods longer and larger than any other Pea in cultivation. 
Carters Quite Content {Main- 
crop Marrowfat. Ht. 5 to 6 ft.) 
— This grand Pea, which has 
caused such a stir in the horti¬ 
cultural world, 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 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. Supp’y limited.

“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.

Carters International 
Carters International 
{Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 
to 6 ft.).—This magnificent 
Pea is the result of a cross 
between our well - known 
Early Morn and Duke of Al¬ 
bany. It is quite distinct, 
both in shape of pod and hab¬ 
it; the pods are of a rich deep green, containing eleven peas of 
excellent size and flavour. This is undoubtedly the largest curved 
pod Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the public; it is quickly 
becoming the most famous early maincrop. 
963 Alderman {Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 5 ft.).—Very fine Pea 
of splendid quality; large deep-green pods. 
987 Carters Danby Stratagem, Re-selected {Wrinkled Marrowfat. 
Ht. 2\ ft.),—Award of Merit, R.H.S. A distinct improvement on 
the original Stratagem, having longer, 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, and frequently con¬ 
taining 10 large, full Marrow peas. 
992 Carters Champion of England {Wrinkled. Ht. 5 ft.).— 
Prolific and hardy; small pod. 
962 Carters Commonwealth {Wrinkled Marrowfat. 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 exhi¬ 
bition pods of a fine deep colour, besides being a first-class table 
Pea. Strongly recommended. 
998 Stratagem {Wrinkled Marrowfat. Ht. 4 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 from Telephone, a maincrop wrinkled Marrow, 
which bears to-day a world-wide reputation. It is remarkably pro¬ 
lific, bearing large pods of very attractive appearance. For soils of 
a light nature we strongly recommend this variety. 9 to 11 
Peas 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 fine size and 
produces a well filled deep green pod.

Carters Latest Giant {Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. 4 ft.).—This splen¬ 
did late Marrowfat Pea is the out- 
Gladstone + Exhibition come of a cross between Gladstone 
1 -„-- and Exhibition, and has been ex- 
Carters Latest Giant hibited in our testing grounds and 
at various Horticultural Society 
Shows. It is an all-round grand selection, possessing the free pod¬ 
ding and strong habit of Gladstone, but bearing handsome, well- 
filled pods, very much larger than that excellent variety. It is fit 
for exhibition and unequalled for market.
