Cannell & Sons’ Complete Seed Guide. 
NOVELTIES FROM OTHER SOURCES. 
Boan, Nutting* S Invicta Longf Pod— The result of a close selection for about eight years, no pods with less than eight beans 
being allowed to remain for seed. The growth is usually vigorous, and the plant very productive, while the pods are of extraordinary length, many 
measuring 14 to 16 inches, and at the same time being tightly packed with seven or eight beans in each— a striking contrast to the half empty pods of 
some long-podded sorts. Sealed pint pkts., Is. Zd. each. 
Melon, Diamond Jubilee — This variety is the result of a cross 
between Best of Ail and Countess, and is a decided improvement on both these 
well-known kinds. The fruit sets freely on lateral growths, oblong in shape, ia 
beautifully netted, and assumes a pretty golden yellow when ripe. Weight from 3 to 
5 lb. ; flesh greenish white, flavour excellent ; a distinct acquisition for early crops.

Melon, Taunton Hero— This splendid Melon, though now 
offered for the first time, has been shown at leading exhibitions for the last five 
years. It is round in shape, lightly netted, and bright golden yellow in colour. 
The flesh is white, deep, melting, with a particularly pleasant flavour. In heat 
fruits attain a weight of 5 to 6 lb. ; in a cold frame nearly all fruits of this variety 
come to a nice convenient size of about 4 lb. Per pkt.. Is. GU. and 2s. Gd. each. 
Pea, Captain Cuttle— a very distinct variety, and a valuable 
acquisition for late cropping, as well as for exhibition purposes. It is a most 
robust growing sort, and on that account should be sown thinly. The pods are 
large and handsome, teriiiinating in an abrupt hook, and contain from seven to ten 
very large deep green pea,s ot excellent quality. It is undoubtedly one of the 
heaviest late croppers in existence. Height, 3^ ft. In sealed A-plnt pkts.,

Pea, Duke of Norfolk — This splendid Pea was raised from the 
well-known variety Duke of Alhany, and without doubt is the finest wrinkled 
marrow ever introduced for exhibition purposes. It is a robust grower, pods large, 
handsome dark green, and borne in pairs containing nine to twelve fine peas in 
each of excellent quality. It grows 6 ft. high, and being of a branching habit 
requires to be sown thinly. In sealed pint pkts., 2s. Gd. each. 
Poa, Dwarf Tolophono — This is a valuable second early 
variety, being a dwarf pea with the large handsome pod of Telephone. The habit 
is dwarf, brauching, healthy, and vigorous, remarkably uniform in height, growing 
about IJ ft., and very productive. The pods are long, frequently 5 in. in length, 
broad, straight, curved at the end, and well filled with eight to ten peas of large 
size ; tender, and of delicious flavour. Per quart, 2s. each. 
PGU, Hurst S RsliunCB — strongly recommended as a really good 
second early variety. It grows from U to 5 ft. high, is an abundant cropper, and 
in quality and appearance of pod has all the characteristics of the true original 
stock of Ne Plus Ultra, although quite distinct from the latter, being ten days to a 
fortnight earlier, is somewhat paler in haulm, and is a blue wrinkled variety. 
Per quart, 2s. 
Pea, Laxton’s Hybrid— a very robust, free-growing, dwarf, 
marrowfat Pea. The ptxls are produced in pairs of a rich dark green colour, of 
fine shape, and flavour all that can be desired. As it requires no sticks, it will be a 
great nctiuisition to the good dwarf main-crop sorts, especially for market growers.

Pea, Majestic- A fine main-crop variety of strong vigorous habit, 
handsome dark green exhibition pods, hanging in pairs, containing seven large 
peas of rich flavour. Award of Merit, K.H.S., Chiswick, 1897. Sealed pint pkt. , 
2.S. each ; J-pints, Is. 
Pea, Shilling-’s Hartford Success — This grand main-crop 
variety is the result of many years’ careful selection, and will be found one of the 
most useful kinds in cultivation. It grows 3i to 4 ft. hieh, and is an immense 
cropper, the luxuriant dark green haulm being covered with large pods, each 
containing ten or eleven large peas of a delicious flavour, and which when cooked 
are of that rich dark green colour so desirable in a first-class culinary pea. In 
staled half-pint pkts.. Is. Zd. each. 
Potuto, The BOVee — As a first early it has all desirable 
features, and coinbiues in a wonderful degree extreme earliness, superior flavour, 
and heavy cropping qualities. The vine is short and stocky, and the tubers, which 
are between kidney and pebble shape, are all bunched together close up to the vine. 
The skin is a dark flesh colour, and the tub/rs size up to edible or merchantable 
size more quickly and uniformly than any other variety. Since introduced it has 
called forth thousands of testimonials. Ter lb., Gd.-, per peck of 14 lbs., 9s. 
TomUtO, Goldsn Jubilss — First-Class Certificate, R.H.S., 
May 2Gth, 1897. A very handsome yellow Tomato, which, in the opinion of 
experienced judges, gives promise of at once taking a very leading position 
among the varieties of this popular fruit. Its beautifully clear golden-yellow 
is relieved bv a suffusion of scarlet while the flavour is really delicious. Kaised at 
the Koval (jardens, Windsor, by Mr. Owen Thomas, it is the result of a cross 
between Golden Priniess and Frogmnre Selected, partaking of the best qualities of 
both parents. Per pkt., 2s. Gd.
