-This fine First Early Pea is a counterpart of Carters’ 
Lightning , only that the seed is blue. It is a neat grower and a very 
productive bearer, the pods well filled with fine-flavoured Peas of a distinct 
colour when boiled. One of the largest Essex growers tells us that he gets 
his first pickings into Covent Garden nearly a week in front of his neighbours, 
and he purchases several quarters from us every season. (In some localities 
these blue Peas suit the soil better than white kinds.) 2^ feet. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart. 
Carters’ St. Osyth Gem •—Raised upon our Seed Farm 
from a cross between Chelsea Gem and Stratagem , and combining the best 
qualities of these two fine Peas. Height, IJ feet. 
“ One of the earliest in the section is St. Osyth Gem , which closely follows 
Chelsea Gem, but is quite distinct from that popular variety, and runs about 3 feet 
high. The haulm and pods are of a very dark green colour, as are the Peas 
themselves, and the flavour is excellent and well in advance of that of most early 
Peas.”—J. C. T., in 'the Garden. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart. 
Carters’ Dwarf Favourite 
•—A useful miniature wrinkled 
Pea, selected from a batch in our Trial Grounds. For gardens where space 
is an object, and for situations requiring a variety that can be quickly cleared, 
this is the Pea to grow. We have also proved its adaptability for culture under 
glass. Height, I foot. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart.
