taller, but possessing the robust constitution of its other parent (Express). For early sowing we can 
strongly recommend. Price, .90 per qt. ; .50 per pt. ; .25 per pkt.

The Right Hon. Earl of Sandwich’s Head Gardener writes: — "This is a very fine early Pea, splendid 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 
Morn, 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 Carter’s Snowdrop is a promising new first early, produc- 
ing freely large Ne Phis 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. 
The Hon. Vicary Gibbs’ Head Gardener writes: — “Snowdrop, one of the best, good shape pods; splendid 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 Bonum. 
It has a splendid constitution, and will certainly rank as one of the best early peas.” Mr. W. Back. 
E. S. Hanbury, Esq.’s, Head Gardener writes: — “Carter’s Snowdrop is excellent in carliness, productiveness, and 
flavour.” — Mr. F. W. Church. 
Carter’s Edward VII (Wrinkled, 3 feet). — In the trials of the Royal Horticultural Society we were

forward section of Marrowfats, but has Ne Plus Ultra shaped pods of a beautiful lustrous green, filled 
with fine, large, sweet-eating peas.
