NEW CULINARY PEAS 



SHARPES COMET. 



An extra early round, blue-seeded Pea, as early as Eclipse, with long, curved, 

 pointed, dark green pods, borne freely in pairs, height 3 ft., quite hardy and 

 heavy cropper. With the present day tendency to make early Peas the most 

 important crop of the season, this addition to the list of varieties suitable for 

 sowing for that purpose will be welcomed. The colour and size of the pods 

 give it a much more attractive appearance in the basket than Eclipse, and as it 

 is equally early, hardy and prolific, there is no doubt it will be more profitable 

 to the grower. 



SHARPE'S ELDORADO. 



We believe this new Pea is of a type that ha^s been wanted 

 for a long time, and that its cultivation in every garden will soon become a 

 matter of course. 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 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 3| 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. For sowing in November, 

 in localities where it is safe to sow Peas at that time, there is nothing better. 



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 con- 

 siderably 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.
