NEW CULINARY PEAS 



SHARPE'S MARCHIONESS. 



This is a very early, green wrinkled variety, height 3! feet, heavy cropper, 

 very hardy, pods large, straight, dark green, and well filled. We consider it 

 the finest and most valuable Pea we have ever put on the Market. It 

 requires a good Pea to beat Gradus on all points, and this one does it. When 

 tested alongside Gradus, it proved to be several days earlier, with larger 

 pods, and a much heavier cropper. 



SHARPE'S VANGUARD. 



May be briefly described as a blue-seeded Pilot. Height 3 or 3J feet, 

 large, dark-green pointed pods, each containing 7 to 9 large peas of fine 

 quality and flavour. Valuable for Market purposes., as it is very early, very 

 hardy, very prolific ; the pods are handsome in appearance and well filled ; 

 there are no small pods to spoil the sample when pulled, and no later ones 

 to necessitate the crop being gone over a second time. 



SHARPE'S TALISMAN. 



Sharpe's Talisman is not a selection from Pilot, although it bears in its 

 chief features a great resemblance to that popular variety. It, however, differs 

 considerably from Pilot, as it is a much heavier cropper, far more robust, 

 earlier, and there is a complete absence of the small-podded type to which 

 Pilot is so liable to revert. The pods, mostly pairs, are borne in luxuriant 

 profusion, and are of a fine dark colour, large size, and well filled. 



The above trio represent the very latest improvements in first early Peas. 

 There are no other varieties in commerce that combine so many good points : — 

 EARLINESS, HARDINESS, LARGE AND WELL-FILLED PODS, 

 ABSENCE OF SMALL PODS, GOOD COLOUR, FINE FLAVOUR, 

 PRODUCTIVENESS.
