A NEW AND ABSOLUTELY DISTINCT FIRST EARLY PEA. 
NOVELTY. 
Blue Express Duko ol Albany 
Early Duke 
Carters 
Early Duke. 
( Wrinkled Marrowfat.') 
Height, 3 feet. 
This unique variety, 
selected from a cross as 
shown above, is offered for 
the first time after several 
seasons’ tests, both at 
Kuynes Park, Mortlake, 
and the grounds of the 
leading growers throughout 
the country. For quality 
it is unequalled, the foliage 
and pods being of an 
exceptionally deep rich 
green; it forces well, being 
lit to pick about the same 
time as Carters Early 
Mom. The distinct and 
handsome pods are not 
quite so large as that cele- 
brated variety, but contain 
peas of exceptional colour 
and quality. The remark- 
ably prolific habit is the 
main feature of this grand 
First Early, which we claim 
is the most distinct and 
striking First Early Marrow- 
fat introduced for many 
years. 
Award of Merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society.
