Duke of Albany Pea. 



Albert in height, 

 habit of growth, and 

 earliness, but is dis- 

 tinguished from it 

 by the paler and 

 yellower tint of the 

 leaves. The flowers 

 are generally soli- 

 tary, but occasion- 

 ally in pairs, and 

 begin to open at 

 the seventh or eighth 

 joint of the stem. 

 Pods very long 

 stalked, rather 

 pointed, and very 

 slightly curved, 

 about 2 in. long, 

 each containing 

 from six to eight 

 peas, which are 

 small, very much 

 wrinkled, and re- 

 maining green when 

 ripe. A stem carries 

 from five to seven 

 tiers of pods. This 

 Pea is one of the 

 best known and most 

 extensively cultiva- 

 ted of the varieties 

 raised by Mr. Lax- 

 ton, whose name we 

 have had frequent 

 occasion to mention. 

 Tall Green 

 Wrinkled Marrow 

 Pea. A very tall, 

 strong plant, with 

 thick stems some- 

 times over 6 ft. in 

 height, usually in 

 two branches and 

 flowering only at the 

 twelfth joint. The 

 flowers are white,
