which it requires, and the great height of sticks, 

 which are not at all times to be obtained, as they 

 ought to be from eight to ten feet high. 



25. Knight's Tall Green Marrow, of late intro- 

 duction, is a most excellent late pea ; and, if sown 

 in the beginning of July, will keep in gathering till 

 October. It is very prolific, and for all culinary pur- 

 poses is in as high estimation as the dwarf variety. 



26. Tall Imperial, a fine pea, but in no way supe-

 height from six to eight feet. 



28. Egg Pea, so called from the large size and 

 shape of the seed. This is one of the largest 

 marrow variety at present in cultivation. It is

 average height is from seven to eight feet. 



29. Spanish Marotto, which, with the next men- 

 tioned variety, were leading peas at the first tables 

 during the reign of George the First, but neither of 

 them are at the present time in much repute. Still 

 the Spanish Marotto will be found very useful 

 where there is a large family to be supplied, as 

 they keep in gathering some time longer than many

 pods are large and generally well filled : the aver- 

 age height is from five to seven feet.

 There are four varieties, but the white and green
