RUNNER BEANS. 
CARTERS SCARLET EMPEROR RUNNER BEAN. 
See illustration opposite. 
Not only is this Bean of the utmost importance as a prize winner, but its 
smooth and tender texture places it far above all other scarlet runners. Its large, 
handsome pods, often measuring 15’j inches, hang in great clusters, and it has been 
estimated that the produce from Carters Scarlet Emperor is twice as great in bulk as 
may be expected from the ordinary type of scarlet runner, and all of the most refined 
quality. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Jersey’s Head Gardener writes:—“Your 
Scarlet Emperor Runner Beans have done splendid. I have never seen any to 
equal them in height or size of pods; the best I know.”—Mr. A. W. Perry.

The Right Hon. The Earl of Galloway’s Head Gardener writes:— 
“ Runner Bean, Carters Red Giant. This undoubtedly will prove to be an 
advance upon existing varieties. Sown in the open the produce was gathered 
the middle of August. Without special culture many of the pods were 10 inches in 
length, were straight and slender and rough to the touch, so characteristic of quality 
and fine appearance.”—Mr. J. Day.
