TANGIER TEA. 



covered with ivy, this pea mixes wltli its gloomy 

 leaves with a happy effect. AVe are not aware 

 whether it has ever been cultivated by the agri- 

 culturist, but as it is perennial, and yields a great 

 quantity of green fodder^ the experiment may be 

 worth the trial. We will venture to promise that 

 the seeds will be acceptable to the farmer's pigeons 

 and the landlord's game, whilst its flowers will ma- 

 terially assist to fill the comb of the cottager's 

 hives, even if it be no further cultivated than for 

 decorating the common hedge-rows, where its 

 bunches of papilionaceous flowers could not fail to 

 delight the passenger by their gay tints. These 

 Peas may be sown either in the autumn or the 

 spring, and the plants will bear removing. 



TANGIER PEA. Lathjrus T'mgitanus. 



This plant, whose name pronounces it a native of 

 Barbary, is an annual flower that has been an in - 

 mate in our gardens since the year 1680 ; but as it 

 is greatly inferior to the Sweet Pea in point of 

 beauty, we shall merely notice it on account of the 

 velvet-like petals of its small but richly-coloured 

 corolla.
