528 LEGUMINOUS PLANTS. 



Harrison's Plant three feet in height, of vigorous habit : 



Perfection. 



Trans. pods small, straight, containing five peas of 



good size and quality. 



Sown the 1st of May, the variety was in flower June 

 23, and the pods were ready for plucking about the 12t.li 

 of July. 



The only defect in this variety is, that the pods are often 

 not well filled. When growing, it is scarcely distinguishable 

 from Harrison's Glory ; but, in the mature state, the seeds 

 of the former are smooth and white, while those of the 

 latter are indented, and of an olive color. 



King of the Plant six feet in height, stocky, and of re- 

 Marrows. 



markably vigorous habit ; pods single or in 



pairs, containing five or six large seeds, which, when ripe, 

 are yellowish-green, and much shrivelled and indented, like 

 those of the Champion of England. 



Planted May 1, the variety blossomed the last of June, 

 and pods for the table were plucked the 15th of July. 



Though comparatively late, it is one of the best of the 

 more recently introduced sorts, and well deserving of general 

 cultivation. When the pods are gathered as fast as they 

 become fit for use, the plants will continue to put forth new 

 blossoms, and form new pods, for an extraordinary length of 

 time ; in favorable seasons, often supplying the table for five 

 or six weeks. 



It is very tender and sugary, and little, if at all, inferior 

 to the Champion of England. 



In common with most of the colored peas, the ripe seeds, 

 when grown in this country, are much paler than those of 

 foreign production ; and, when long cultivated in the climate 

 of the United States, the blue or green is frequently changed 

 to pale blue or yellowish-green, and often ultimately becomes 

 nearly cream-white.
