Prussian Peas ; Early Mazagan, Broad Wiudsor, and Marshall's 

 Prolific Beans ; Scarlet Runner, Sutton's Cornish, and Cock's or 

 A'auiick Cabbage ; Round Summer Spinach, White and Red 

 Orach ; Navet Blanc plat hatif ; Early White and Red Strap-leaf 

 Turnips ; Chou rave blanc plat hatif de Vienne, Vegetable 

 Marrows, Laitue Alphange blonde a graine noire, Laitue Alphange 

 blonde a graine blanche, Laitue Pomrae d'Ete, ou d'Automne, 

 and Bath Cos Lettuce ; and of fruits, Seymour's Golden Per- 

 fection, and Cassaba Melons ; Rivers's New Large-fruited Double- 

 bearing-Raspberry, W^ilmot's New W^hite and Red Currants ; and 

 six sorts of the old, small, sweet, early Gooseberries, viz.. Oval 

 Red, Sulphur, Irish Wliite Raspberry, Early Green Hairy, Early 

 White, and Small Dark Rough Red. 



It may be mentioned that, among all the new varieties of Peas, 

 none have been found to equal Knight's Marrow, in point of 

 sugary qualities. Dickson's Early Favourite is a good variety, 

 early and prolific ; and the Blue Prussian, as a summer Pea, still 

 maintains its place. Sutton's Cornish Cabbage is a good kind, 

 the ribs of the leaves being nearly as tender, when cooked, as 

 those of the Portuguese Couve Tronchuda. The Early White 

 Strap-leaf Turnip is a new sort, which is likely to prove excellent. 

 The Laitue Alphange blonde a graines noires and a graines blanches, 

 are sorts of Cos Lettuce which grow to a large size, but they do 

 not heart well, and require tying in order to blanch them ; they 

 have, on the other hand, the very great merit of running to seed 

 more unwillingly than any other Lettuces. Rivers's new large- 

 fruited double-bearing Raspberiy is an excellent bearer, botli 

 early and late. Wilmot"s new white Currant is a good variety, 

 easily distinguished by the leaf, which is more cut than tliat of 

 any other white Currant.
