Peas, when ripe, shrivel very much, and are remarkably sweet. This 

 pea is the best of all the tall ones for late sowing in summer,

 tall white marrow, but the peas ai*e much larger and not so round ; in 

 other respects neai-ly the same. 



"19. Waterloo. English Synonyme: Nonpariel. — About 6 feet high, 

 and very strong. It has a great resemblance to the tall green marrow, 

 but it does not grow so tall nor so strong. Peas green and rather 

 wrinkled.

" N. B. Nos. 20 and 22 should, perhaps, be referred to the 2d Group: 

 but, on account of their strong growth, I have placed them in the 4th 

 Group: they diflfer from it only in having small pods; and from the 2d 

 Group in growing very strong, and being late.

 emin blanc a grandes cosses, mange-tout. English Synonymes: New
