Carters’ “Danby Stratagem 
• —The Danby Stratagem 
is a distinct improvement on the original Stratagem, having longer, straighter, 
and broader pods, very freely produced. We originally had the honour to 
introduce Stratagem Pea in 1880, which has from the day of its birth maintained 
the very highest position amongst all that is good in Peas, and when well grown 
its position even now stands unrivalled on the exhibition board. Its merits 
have also been recognised in the highest degree by the Vegetable Committee 
of the Royal Horticultural Society or. no less than three occasions. The haulm 
of our improved type is very robust, and extends to a height of 2^ feet, 
bearing a profusion of immense pods, many six inches in length, and frequently 
containing ten large full-flavoured Marrow Peas. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart. 
Carters’ “Model Telephone” Peas. 
Carters’ “Model Telephone” 
is a re-selection for robust¬ 
ness and delicacy of flavour from Telephone, as originally introduced by us, and 
may be described as a main crop wrinkled marrow, which bears to-day a 
world-wide reputation. We regret to state, however, there are many spurious 
strains about the country, handled and sold by irresponsible dealers for the sake 
of extra profit. No other Pea extant can claim equal honours with Carters' 
Telephone on the exhibition table. We used to publish a list of such awards 
gained annually by our customers, but it extended beyond our space and could 
not be continued. It is in every way a magnificent Pea even to-day, and no 
other variety in its class has ever obtained such unusual commendation. Peas, 
wrinkled, 9 to 11 in a pod, delicious when cooked. Height, 5 feet. 
In sealed packets, price 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quat t. 
Carters’ New “Dwarf Telephone.”_ Tllisisthe 
result of several years’ work in the effort to get a Pea with all the excellent 
qualities of Carters’ Telephone , yet without the long vines of this well-kr.own and 
highly-valued variety. Its height is ll to 2 feet; habit dwarf, stocky, healthy, 
and vigorous, remarkably uniform in height, without the tendency to sport which 
is so noticeable in many recent introductions. Its pods are ’J'elephone pods, that 
is to say, of the same large size and handsome appearance, remarkably well- 
filled and developed. The Peas are of the same tender and delicious flavour as 
the original Telephone , which, as is well-known, has educated connoisseurs in 
Peas to demand a grade of quality and flavour which was not dreamed of a few 
years ago. Stock limited. 
In sealed packets, from 2s. per pint, 3s. 6d. per quart.
