THE PEA. 527 



pairs, and number from ten to fourteen on each plant, 

 they contain eight very large peas, which are of the deep, 

 dull green color of the Early Green Marrow. The ripe seed 

 is white and olive mixed. 



This is a valuable acquisition, and was evidently procured 

 from the Ne Plus Ultra ; but it is a more robust grower, and 

 produces much larger pods. 



The plant continues growing, blooming, and podding till 

 very late in the season ; and, when this is in the full vigor 

 of growth, the Ne Plus Ultra is ripening off. The peas, 

 when cooked, are of a fine, bright green color, and unlike 

 those of any other variety. 



Plant strong and vigorous, from three to three Hair's Dwarf 



Mammoth, 

 feet and a half high, branching, with short 



joints ; pods single or in pairs, broad, comparatively flat, 

 containing about six very large peas, which are sugary, 

 tender, and excellent. The ripe seeds are shrivelled, and 

 vary in color ; some being cream-white, and others bluish- 

 green. 



Sown May 1, the plants blossomed July 1, and pods were 

 ready for use the 15th of the same month. 



Very prolific, and deserving of cultivation. 



Plant three feet high, of a bushy, robust habit Harrison's

ot growth ; pods rather short, nearly straight, 

 and flattish, containing five or six medium-sized peas, of good 

 quality ; when ripe, the seeds are light olive, mixed with 

 white, and also slightly indented. 



Planted May 1, the variety was in flower June 23, 

 and the pods were fit for gathering about the 10th of 

 July. 



It is a good variety ; but, like Harrison's Perfection, the 

 pods are frequently not well filled.
