SILVER CUP, ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, 
AT HOLLAND HOUSE, JULY, 1906, 
For 20G 'Varieties of Feas Exliibited. 
Since the Royal Horticultural Society of England awarded to our House two First 
Class Certlflcates in the year 1872 for our initial endeavours to obtain an advance in 
the cropping and eating properties of Garden Peas we have received many other similar 
honours. Although long-continued experiments are both laborious and costly, we have 
never relaxed our efforts, our growths last summer being larger than ever before. It 
Is our custom to test every parcel of Peas that we handle during the season, and the 
60 000 bushels that we disposed of in 1908 were made up of 1,501 different parcels, 
and as it was necessary for us to plant a row of each we had this number of rows in 
our experlmsntal grounds, in addition to the breadths under special culture of several 
new varieties of Peas. A visitor to our trial grounds writing in The Garden, says It 
is well known that the Holborn Firm have for a long series of years been in the very 
front rank of those who have done such splendid work in improving the Garden Pea.” 
The magnificent improvements in Peas introduced by our House manifested in 
Telephone, Stratagem, Daisy, Early Morn, Exhibition Marrowfat, and Michaelmas Marrow, are 
further added to in the introduction of the enormous-podded Marrowfat named Quite 
Content, as we feel certain that all who try this grand Pea will be more than satisfied 
with our latest introduction, which last year gained the First Class Certificate of 
the Royal Horticultural Society, and easily secured First Honours in the open class for 
Peas at the Great Shrewsbury Show, in August, 1906. See coloured plate, page 82. On back 
of coloured plate we offer a new Pea named Carters' Dreadnought. 
GREEN MARROWFAT PEAS. 
FOR SUC0E8S10NAL USE FROM JUNE TO NOVEMBER. 
We have offered a general selection of choice Garden Peas with so much success that we again quote the 
group as improved and representing the best collection calculated to produce Peas for five months, under fair 
conditions, if sown at varying periods, during the spring and summer. It would be difficult to give precise dates 
for putting the seed into the ground, as so much depends upon soil and silu.ition. 
Succcssional sowings of these Peas may be made at any time between the dates named.
