Harrison's Perfection .... Carter & Co. 

 Sown, March 24th ; in flower. June 6th; fit for use, June 30th. 

 Stems, 3 feet, robust. Pods, 14—15 on a stem, small, straight, 

 containing 5 peas of good size and quality. The only defect is, 

 that the pods do not fill well. When growing this cannot be 

 distinguished from Harrison's Glory; but in the mature state 

 the seeds of the former are "smooth and white; those of the 

 latter indented, and of an olive colour.

New Green Marrow . Fbaser, Kichardson, & Goad. 

 Sown, March 24th ; in flower, June 0th ; fit for use, June 27th. 

 Height, 5 feet. Pods, 10—12 on a stem, long, narrow, slightly 

 curved, containing 7 — 8 large peas, which are compressed from 

 being much crowded. A very distinct sort, on account of its 

 long pods, narrow in proportion to their length. In appearance 

 and quality, however, it is not equal to Beck's Prizetaker.
