Height four and a half feet; haulm stroDf^;; pods chielly in pairs, long, straight, am of handsome appearance; peas large and of fine color and superb ilavor. We unhesitatingly aver "Standard" to be a great advance upon any Pea of this class at present in com- merce, and to be unequalled and matchless for eith<»r exhibition or table. An horticultural expert who has tested it this year in competition with many other varieties, pronounces it the best Pea of the season. SHARPENS MONARCH PEA. Award of Merit, R. H. S., J 900. This is a grand new Pea of the Duke of Albany type. Tt has a strong haulm and short joints, much more prolifio than the Duke of Albany. and less liable to sport: is a heavy cropper, and the filled pods are very heavy—four of them gathered without much selection weighing four ounces. It will be a great acquisition for market Gardeners, and promises' to become as deservedly popular as the well-known Sharpens Queen. SHARPENS "DENBIGH CASTLE" POTATO. First-Class Certificate, R. H. S., 1900. An extra early white fleshed Kidney, similar to the walnut leaved Kidney of olden days. Claimed by the raiser to be the earliest Kidney variety in cultivation. It is a good cropper, of robust constitution, and a' first-dass cooker. We are confident that growers both for private consumption and public markets will welcome a variety that has met with such striking success as is indicated by it receiving \he above award in the competition for early varieties. Can be strongly recommended for pot culture. SHARPENS EARLY PETER POTATO. Award of Merit, R. H. S., July 25, 1899, Confirmed 1900. The R. H. S. say of this new Potato—&qu
