CARTERS’ EARLY MORN PEA. 
(SEE ILLUSTRATION OPPOSITE.) 
This remarkable marrowfat Pea is a real advance in the first early section—indeed, it 
is quickly misplacing many of the small round-seeded kinds hitherto sown for this purpose. 
A rigid selection each season of the most approved plants has enabled us to bring the character 
of its growth into a convenient compass, so that it is now classed in the 3-feet division. The 
pods, whilst being produced out of doors early in June, are as fine in size as our well-known 
“Daisy.” It was frequently to be seen on the exhibition board during the season, taking 
First Prize at the early shows, and many of our customers sent us specimens to look at in 
June, being so satisfied with the produce. 
Price, in sealed packets, 2s. per pint; 3s. 6d. per quart. 
STOCK VERY LIMITED. 
This fine Pea has been the subject of a good deal of comment in the Horticultural Journals 
during the past seasons, as the following extracts show:— 
FORCING PEAS.— “ There are several forcing peas now to 
•elect from, and these are a distinct advance on the older kinds, as being 
very dwarf they are invaluable for pots, and those who can grow them 
in frames or cool houses from the start will find them most reliable. 
Early Morn must be included in this list, as though over 2 feet in height, 
It is one of the best I have tried, as being a distinct 
marrow it is much liked on account of its quality.” 
G. Wythes in The Garden. 
“CARTERS’ EARLY MORN was sown at the same time 
as SPRINGTIDE, and is truly a fine variety. Unstaked, the haulm was 
scarcely 2 feet in length, but the crop was remarkably heavy, the pods 
nearly the size of those of Duchess of Albany, and closely filled with peas 
equal in quality to anything I had on my table all 
through the season.” —Report of a Pea trial made in Somersetshire. 
NEW EARLY PEAS.-“Among the numerous varieties of 
early peas, I think Carters’ Early Morn is entitled to first place as the 
largest early pea yet sent out. With us it is a marvellous cropper, and 
produces pods equal to the largest Duke of Albany, and withal of a most 
excellent marrow flavour. In point of earliness is very little behind its 
dwarf companions. From a row sown on February 8th, 1897, we gathered 
on June 15th ; and in nine seasons out of ten it would be much earlier, ^as 
this season has been one of too many wet and cold nights for early 
vegetables.” — The Gardeners’ Magazine. 
NEW PEA, CARTERS’ EARLY MORN. — “In your 
issue of July 17th, page 436, in speaking of new early peas, your 
correspondent, Mr. W. A. Cook, refers to this pea in very glowing terms. 
Having grown it side by side with several new kinds, I can fully bear out 
all he writes about it, either as an exhibition variety or for general use. 
I believe it is destined to take a foremost place, and it is most prolific, 
and remains a long time in good condition ; the pods are very handsome, 
well filled, and the peas of excellent flavour. Another good point in its 
favour is that it continues to bear for a long season. I exhibited a dish 
on June 29th at the R. H.S. meeting, and from the same row this day, 
August 7th, we have picked a fine lot. Considering the long spell of dry 
weather, and that the variety was grown without any special treatment, 
this is a good record. I do not hesitate to say that it is the finest 
marrowfat pea I have ever grown.” — From the Gardeners’ Magazine. 
The Head Gardener at a Royal Establish¬ 
ment writes: —“A very fine pea, combining size and flavour with 
earliness, from the latter standpoint a contemporary of the first earlies." 
“Carters’ Early Morn is the largest early pea that has ever come 
under my notice. Many of the pods contain ten and eleven peas. This 
pea is Ai.”—J. A. 
“Carters’ Early Morn is certainly a first-class early pea, one of the 
best of the long-podded type.”—H. C. P. 
“ Carters’ Early Morn Pea, sown February 15th, came on earlier than 
three other sorts, one of which was American Wonder.” 
H. H. Sanuridge. 
PEA, CARTERS’ EARLY MORN.-“A small packet 
was sent to me for trial last spring by Messrs. J. Carter & Co., which 
I sowed with several other well-known varieties, and it proved a great 
surprise to me. It is not only very early and prolific, continuing to bear 
for a much longer period than any other large-podded variety that I am 
acquainted with, but it is by far the finest pea for either exhibition or home 
use I have yet seen ; and if I am not mistaken it will, when better known, 
become a great favourite for market use ; and the flavour is excellent I 
would strongly advise exhibitors that are on the look out for a good pea 
to give this a trial, feeling sure they will not be disappointed.” — The 
Gardening World. 
PEA, EARLY MORN. —“ For pot or frame culture I have 
found no variety equal to Early Morn. Plants from seeds sown in the 
middle of January fruited at the end of April. The seed was given more 
warmth till through the soil, and then grown in a cool pit. Out of several 
varieties on trial, it was the earliest by ten days. In the open I was much 
pleased with it last year, as it was fit for table the third week in May. 
This year it promises well, though a little later. It is podding freely, but 
the severe weather in April retarded the bloom.” — Grower in The Field. 
CARTERS’ EARLY MORN PEA IS A GRAND FORCER.
