260 NEW ESCULENT VEGETABLES AND FRUITS 



and frequently clusters are produced very like shallots. Tlie 

 colour in some approaches that of the Silver-skin Onion, in 

 others the Blood-red; but tlie generality are reddish-hrown. 

 They are strong-flavoured, and have tlie appearance of being- 

 good keepers. 



From the want of uniformity in the size and form of the bidbs, 

 the crop would not be profitable for the growers for market. 

 By a judicious selection of bulbs for seed a useful sound-keeping 

 variety may very probably be obtained. 



Florentiner PJlucherhse Pea. 



Presented to the Society by Mr. Seitze, Royal Gardens, 

 Munich. 



This was stated to be a good variety of early pea. It proves 

 the same as the Early Frame. 



Paradise Pea. 

 Presented by Messrs. Stuart and INIein. 



Sown May ITth ; fit for use July 23rd. About 4 feet higli ; 

 pods straight, flattish, containing 6-7 peas of good quality. An 

 abundant bearer. Dry seeds yellowish-white. Allied to the 

 Early Charlton. 



Dorii de Fitz-James Pea. 

 Presented by Bossin, Louesse & Co., Paris. 



Sown May 17th; fit for use July 20th; about 4 feet high; 

 pods straiglit ; flattish, in shape and size like those of the Charl- 

 ton, but the pods, and also the peas, are pale yellow. It is a 

 curious degeneration, most probably from the Charlton ; the 

 plants are similar in growth to those of the Charlton. The 

 quality of the peas is very good ; but the want of greeiniess in 

 the pods, even in a young state, would render the sort not mar- 

 ketable. 



SuttOH'S Early GoliatJi Pea. 



Received from Messrs. Sutton and Son. 



Sown May 17th; fit July 18th; about 4 feet high. Pods 

 tolerably large, containing about 7 gooil-sized white peas, of ex- 

 cellent quality. A very good early productive pea. 



Sutton^s Superb Marrmofat. 

 Received from Messrs. Sutton and Sons. 

 Appears to be the same as the Woodford Green Marrow.
