when the peas are quite small and only half grown. Though

D FAN F 'S?R W AW B - F Called the " Dwarf Fan." The pods are some- 

 times single, but generally- in pairs, two inches 

 and a half long, half an inch broad,, terminate rather ab- 

 ruptly at the point, and contain from five to six rather large 

 peas. The ripe seed is cream-white. 



Sown May 1, the plants were in blossom June 26, and pods 

 were plucked for use July 14. 



The Spanish Dwarf is an old variety, and still maintains 

 its position as an Early Dwarf for small gardens, though it 

 can hardly be considered equal to Burbridge's Eclipse or 

 Bishop's Long-podded. 



There is a variety of this which is called the Improved 

 Spanish Dwarf, and grows fully nine inches taller than the 

 old variety ; but it possesses no particular merit to recom- 

 mend it.

half long, three fourths of an inch broad, more 

 bluntly pointed than those of the Dwarf variety, and con- 

 taining six or seven peas, When ripe, the pea is nearly of 

 the color of the Dwarf Marrow, but is more perfectly spher- 

 ical, less wrinkled, and, when compared in bulk, has a 

 smoother, harder, and more glossy appearance. 



Planted May 1, the variety blossomed the 1st of July, and 

 supplied the table from the 15th to the 20th of the same 

 month. It is a few days later than the Dwarf.
