A Large White Wrinkled Marrow. 
Said in England to be the Earliest Pea 
in Existence. 
(SEE NUMEROUS TESTIMONIALS:) 
English description.—" Hardy, robust in growth, and of a 
size and quality hitherto unknown among First Early Peas. 
Vine 2y feet long ; very strong and vigorous ; pods in pairs, 
long, large, well filled and borne in profusion throughout 
the entire length of the vine. By its remarkable size, qual¬ 
ity, and early maturity it is calculated to supersede other 
varieties for Early Market, and is especially recommended 
to Market Gardeners as the first and best Market Pea. It is 
very much larger and said to be several days earlier than 
the earliest.” 
From Messrs. Sutton Sons, Reading, England, Oct. 21, 
1880.—" Your ‘ Sunrise ’ Pea is very early, of good quality, 
and a great cropper.” 
Mr. Hay, the introducer, has placed the entire stock for 
America in the hands of ourselves and another Seedsman. 
Our Information respecting this Pea is such as to lead us to 
believe that it is a very remarkable variety, $1.25 per Quart.
