Ear ly Morn Express Carters Snowdrop ( Wrinkled Marrowfat , a, feet).— Award of Merit R.H.S. 
carters Snowdrop A cross between Early Morn and Express (Seedling No. 208). This first 
early Pea can best be described as an early Ne Plus 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 constitution of its other parent (Express'). For early sowing we can 
strongly recommend. 
Price 3s. 6 d. per quart; 2s. per pint; is. per packet.

cropper, pods well filled, and fine flavour.”— Mr. F. Hansford. 
The Right Hon. The Earl of" Kimberley’s Head Gardener writes: — “A good early heavy cropper, 
as early as Early Mom , pods well filled, robust constitution.” — Mr. W. N. Thurston. 
The Right Hon. Viscount Midleton’s Head Gardener writes “ 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 Right Hon. Viscount Portman’s Head Gardener writes : — ** Snowdrop is a good early Pea, strong 
grower, and excellent cropper.” — Mr. George Phillips. 
The Right Hon. W. H. Long’s Head Gardener writes : — “ 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.” — Mr. W. Strugnell.

variety for small gardens.” — Mr. Edwin Beckett. 
Admiral Brand’s Head Gardener writes; — “ 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 Magnum Bounin. 
Il has a splendid constitution, and will certainly rank as one of the best early peas.” — Mr. W. Hack.

and flavour.” — Mr. F. W. Church.
