EARLIEST GARDEN PEAS — Continued 
A NEW AND ABSOLUTELY DISTINCT FIRST EARLY PEA 
NOVELTY 
Blue Express Duke of Albany 
Early Duke 
Carter’s Early Duke 
WRINKLED VARIETY 
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 Raynes 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 fit to pick about 
the same time as Carter’s 
Early Morn. The dis- 
tinct and handsome pods 
are not quite so large as 
that 1 celebrated variety, 
but contain peas of ex- 
ceptional colour and 
quality. The remark- 
ably prolific habit is the 
main feature of this 
grand First Early, which 
we claim is the most dis- 
tinct and striking First 
Early wrinkled sort in- 
troduced for many years.

The Right Hon. W. H. Long’s Head Gardener writes: "Carter’s Early Duke sown April 24th attained a height of 3 feet
