Carters Giant Blue Express and Carters Qlant 
Lightning:. —After several years’ patient labour we introduce 
the magnificent Peas, Giant Express and Giant Lightning. 
There is no doubt that these types will displace the smaller 
podded varieties, as, in addition to the increased size of pod, 
the haulm is stronger, the cropping properties are much heavier, 
and the flavour is superior to the older varieties. In establish¬ 
ments where Peas are required very early, these Giant intro¬ 
ductions will be much appreciated, as round Peas are hardier 
and can be sown earlier than the wrinkled Marrowfat varieties.

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.3ft.). - 
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.

podded Marrow Pea. Large deep-green pods, good flavour.

selected stock of the earliest white round-seeded Pea. 
884 Carters American Wonder, Re-selected ( Wrinkled 
Marrowfat. Ht. l£ 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. 
305 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 springtime. 
912 Notts Excelsior (Wrinkled. Ht. lj 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 Dwarf Improved (Wrinkled. 
Ht. l£ 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 Daisy (Wrinkled. Ht. lj 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 Ho 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.

used by canners. Pods medium size, and produced near top of 
vine. Quality high. Ht. 2\ ft.

“We had most excellent success with Messrs. Carters seeds 
last year, which were obtained direct from London, but we hope 
to do even better this 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. 
“ 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 are 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.
