NEW CULINARY PEAS 



SHARPE'S ELDORADO. 



We believe this new Pea is of a type that has been wanted for a long time, 

 and that its cultivation in every garden will soon become a matter of course. 

 Everyone knows Pilot, and who has not wished for a dwarf of the same class ? 

 Very early and quite hardy, with large, dark green, pointed pods, SHARPE'S 

 ELDORADO embodies all the best points of Pilot, but only grows 12 to 15 inches 

 in height, and thus requires no sticking. It is a heavier cropper than Pilot, and 

 in every respect a Pea of the highest merit, and only requires to be known to 

 become popular. 



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-fiJled. 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 3^ feet, large 

 dark-green pointed pods, each containing 7 to 0 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 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.
