Award of Merit R.H.S., 1908.- 'I’liis magnificent Pea is the result 
of a cross between our well-known Early Morn and Duke of Albany. 
It is quite distinct both in shape of pod and habit; the pods are of a 
rich deep green, containing 1 1 Peas of excellent size and flavour ; this is undoubtedly the 
largest curved podded Marrowfat Pea at present offered to the public, and we are 
anticipating a large demand. Second early. Height, 5 to 6 feet. 
Pods of this variety (under Seedling No. 21 1) were exhibited at the Royal 
Agricultural Society’s Show at Newcastle, and at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Show 
at Holland House during the past summer, and attracted much favourable attention. 
Price 2S. per half-pint. Stock limited.

bears in pairs, and most prolific. It has certainly come to stay.” — Mr. W. A. Cook, The Gardens, Leonardslee,
