PEA, FIRST AND BEST EARLY. 
The best early’ Pea in cultivation for general good qualities, viz., earliness, hardiness, produc- 
tiveness, and SUCCESSION of crop. 
The following extracts are taken from the Gardeners* Chronicle (July G, 1867, page 711) in refer- 
ence to this Pea : the result of Trials of Early Peas, at the Royal Horticultural Society’s gardens at 
Chiswick ; — 
“ The Committee, at their meeting held on the 25th inst., decided that Dillistone's Earhj^ Carter's 
First Cropy Sutton's Pingleader y and Veitek's Early y were identical. There cannot be any doubt on 
that point ; they were all sown on the same day, and they respectively bloomed, slatted, and became 
fit for use on the same day. They were, moreover, all injured by the frost more than any other, but 
all in an equal degree ; while Sanysfer's No, 1, Dickson’s First and Best, &c., under the same con- 
ditions, were not injured in the slightest degi’ee.” 
Dickson's First awl Best is two days later than Dillistone’s ; vei-y free bearing, and a much 
stronger gi’ower.”
