REPORT ON THE VARIETIES OP GARDEN PEAS. 371 



3 branching, producing IQ to 18 pods, which 

 are generally in pairs and contain 8 very large peas, which are 

 closely compressed. The ripe seed is green and wrinkled. 



Sown Feb. 19th; bloomed May 30th; slatted June 8tb; and 

 ready to gather July 3rd. 



This is one of the most valuable acquisitions that has been 

 obtained of late years. It is in fact a green wrinkled 

 marrow, as early as Early Em- 

 peror. It is remarkably pro- 

 ductive, the pods fill well, even 

 in such a bad season as the last, 

 and when cooked the peas are

 The plant is very dwarf, about 



15 or 18 inches high, with dark 

 green and blotched foliage. The 

 pods are produced in pairs at 

 almost every joint, and are from 

 10 to 12 on a plant. They con- 

 tain from 6 to 7 peas in each. 

 The ripe seed is green and 

 wrinkled. 



Sown Feb. 19th; bloomed May 

 28th; slatted June 12th; and 

 ready to gather June 3rd. 



This is a very abundant bearer; 

 but the pods are small, and the 

 peas soon become too old for use. 

 It ia remarkably early, coming 

 in at the same time, or rather 

 before, Early Emperor. It 

 seems well adapted for forcing, 

 and will be the first wrinkled 

 marrow pea that could be employed for that purpose.

 The plant is of a strong and luxuriant habit of growth, with a 



stem from 6 to 7 feet high, which is generally simple, but occa- 

 sionally branched, and having light green foliage which is scarcely 

 blotched. The pods are from 13 to 18 on a plant, and are
