between Early Morn and Express (Seedling No. 208). — This first 
early Pea can best be described as an early Ne Eltis Ultra, having pods 
similar in shape and colour to that variety ; it is a few days later than 
our Early Morn, growing rather taller, but possessing the robust constitutiem of its other 
parent {Express') ; for early sowing we can strongly recommend. Idrst early. Height, 
4 feet. Price is. per packet (about 250 seeds). Stock limited. 
The Right Hon. carl of Mansfield's Head Gardener says Carters Snowdrop Pea. A most excellent 
early pea, height about 4 feet, strong g>-ower, very free bearer, pods medium size, well filled with good peas of 
excellent quality ; can strongly rccom.nend it.” — Mr. W. Ward, Ken Wood, Hampstead. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of Kimberley’s Head Gardener says “ A good early heavy cropper, 
as early as Early Morn, pods well filled, robust constitution.” — Mr. W. N. Thurston, Witton Park, North 
Walsham, Norfolk. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener Snowdrop Pea. Height 4 feet. This is a 
very strong, robust variety for early work ; the pods are rather blunt, but are very closely packed, and is a good 
succession to Early Morn. The flavour is quite distinct, and is excellent quality for the general use of a large 
garden.”— Mr. Quainton, The Gardens, Peper Harrow Park, Godaiming. 
ThO Right Hon. W. H. Long's Hoad Gardonor says : — “ Pea Carters Snowdrop is a promising new first early, 
producing freely large Ne Plus Ultra like pods, which are filled with large seed of superior colour and flavour. It 
grows with us about 4 feet in height.”— .VIr. W. Strugnell, Rood Ashton, Trowbridge. 
ThO Hon. Vicary Gibbs' Hoad Gardonor says: — '^Snowdrop, one of the best, good shape pods, splendid 
variety for small gardens.”— .Mr. Edwin Beckett, Aldenham House, Elstree, Herts. 
Admiral Brand’s Hoad Gardonor says -.—"■Snowdrop, a very fine early pea with abundance of fine dark 
square pods, containing 9 peas in most pods ; this, I consider, fills a want in giving the true marrow flavour of 
the old Mapnum Sonum. It has a splendid constitution, and will certainly rank as one of the best early peas.” 
— .Mr. W. Back, Glynde Place, Lewes, Sussex.

NOVELTY. 
Carters Daffodil. A dwarf and very prolific Marrowfat Pea with the highest possible 
commendations, being of the rich deep colour of the Stratagem type, and a decided 
improvement upon British Wonder and the new types of English Wonder. It is a first 
early of bushy habit, and about 18 inches, obviating the necessity for sticks, and rendering 
it serviceable for borders. Its pods are larger than any of the well-knorvn Peas of the early 
dwarf class referred to above, while the quality and flavour of the pea is delicious.
