u I am very much pleased with the result of the experiments I 

 have made with your Prepared Potatoes; for I planted them, 

 without any manure, in ground where for several years I have 

 hardly hxd a sound Potato, and I now tind the crop perfectly free 

 from di- ease, and in a very fine condition; while those of the 

 amesort, unprepared, which were planted at the same time, and 

 next to them, are diseased and eaten by worms. 



44 The Potatoes from the Prepared Seed were so remarkably 



good that I was induced > weigh them, and I found, to my great 

 nishment, that they were as 200 to 150 of the others, or about 

 25 per cent in favour of your preparation.

FRANCIS and ARTHUR 

 Seed Merch 

 introducing the above new Pea, which they believe the? 

 fectly justified in saying is the best and most prolific Etrl? N 

 in cultivation. : m 



It has been tried side by side with all the best early and semi 

 early Peas of the day, and has been pronounced by law 

 eminent gardeners who saw it under the circumstances to be2 

 superior to any variety of its season hitherto introduced. 



It comes in about a week later than the " Early Enaw 

 (sown at the same time), grows about 4 feet high, and pnaaa 

 a wonderful profusion of pods, which contain on an averm! 

 Peas of excellent quality and flavour.
