FIMBRIATA ROSEA DELICATA. 



NEW CULINARY PEA, CAPTAIN CUTTLE. 



This superb Pea, growing about 34 ft. high, is the result of a cross between "G. F. Wilson" 

 and " Evolution." It is a most robust growing sort, and on that account should be sown thinly. 

 The pods are large and handsome, terminating in an abrupt hook, and contain from seren to ten 

 very large deep green peas of excellent quality. It is undoubtedly one of the heaviest late 

 croppers in existence. Awarded full marks of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. In 



sealed Half-pint Packets, 2/5 each.

First Class Certificate, Scottish Hortcultural Society % August 3rd, 1897. 



This variety is the result of a cross between " Best of All "and " Countess," and is a decided 

 improvement on both these well-known kinds. The fruits are oblong in shape, beautifully netted 

 and assume a pretty golden-yellow when ripe ; weight from 3 to 5 lb., flesh greenish- white, flavour 

 excellent, a distinct acquisition for early crops, and will prove a boon to market growers.
