" Group I. Common Dwarf Peas. 



" 1. Bishop's Dwarf. — About 2 feet high, and of strong growth. 

 Pods short and broad, mostly containing 4 or 5 peas. Only a mode- 

 rate bearer, a week later than the early frame, and hardly worth grow- 

 ing. 



"2. Early Dwarf. French Synonyme: Nain hatif. — Height about 

 li feet, and somewhat resembling the preceding variety, but is more 

 prolific; broad, mostly containing 5 peas. It is the best of the dwarfs, 

 as it is very prolific, and of good quality. 



"3. Dwarf Britta7iy. French Synonymes: Tres-nain de Bre- 

 tangne, tres-nain de Brest. — About 6 or 8 inches high, of a dark green 

 color, and of slender growth. Pods small and nearly round, mostly 

 containing 5 peas. It is a few days later than the preceding, and is very 

 fit for late sowing, as it is a good bearer. 



"4. Common Spanish Dwarf . French Synonyme: Pois en even- 

 tail. English Synonymes: New early Spanish dwarf, Spanish dwarf or 

 fan, dwarf bog, Knox's dwarf. — About 2 feet high, and of strong growth. 

 Pods rather broad, flat, and not very long, mostly containing 4 or 5 

 peas. A moderate bearer, and a few days later than Bishop's, which 

 it somewhat resembles. Mr. Bishop selected his pea from this variety. 

 (See Gard. Mag. Vol. I. p. 127.) 



" 5. Large Spanish Dwarf. — About 3 feet high, and very strong. 

 Pods longer than the common Spanish dwarf, and round, mostly con- 

 taining 5 or 6 peas. Like the preceding, only a moderate bearer. 



" Group II. Common Tall Peas. 

 "6. Early Frame. French Synonymes: Pois le plus hatif, vert i 

 rames de mont Julienne, Michaux de Holland, Pois Baron, Pois La- 

 rent. English Synonymes. Best early, early single-blossomed, early 

 double-blossomed frame, early one-eyed, double dwarf frame, single 

 frame, early dwarf frame, superfine early, Batt's early dwarf nimble, 

 early Wilson, Young's very early, early Nicholas, Perkins's early 

 frame, Early Nana, Mason's double-blossomed, Russell's fine early, 

 early French, dwarf Albany. — About 4 feet high, and rather slender. 

 Pods small and round, mostly containing 5 or 6 peas. Very prolific, 

 of excellent quality, and the earliest pea in the whole collection. The 

 number of blossoms on this pea entirely depends on the soil and situa- 

 tion it is grown in. It must not be confounded with the early Charl- 

 ton.
