 About 6^ feet high, and of very strong growth. Pods roundish, small, 

 and much curved, containing 7 or 8 peas. Of excellent quality, a good

"N. B, The pods of all the peas belonging to the 5th Group should 

 be gathered vs^hen quite young, like French [string] beans, and cooked 

 after the same manner, without being shelled. 



" Group VI. Imperials. 



"31. Dwarf Imperial. French Synonymes : Nain vert imperial, nain 

 vert gros, sans parchemin vert. English Synonymes: Imperial, blue 

 imperial, dwarf green imperial, new improved imperial, new improv- 

 ed dwarf imperial, new dwarf imperial, new long-podded imperial, 

 Sumatra, green nonpareil, dAvarf blue prolific, blue scimetar, sabre, 

 blue sabre, new sabre, dwarf sabre. — About 4 feet high, and of strong 

 growth. Pods large, long, and rather flat, much pointed, and contain- 

 ing 8 or 9 peas. Of excellent quality, a good bearer, and one of the 

 best peas for summer, as it is very late in coming into use. 



" 32. Tall Imperial. French Synonymes : Carre vert, carre vert 

 gros Normand. English Synonymes : Tall green imperial, tall blue 

 imperial, Spanish patriot, new tall imperial, blue union, green nonpareil, 

 tall Prussian- or blue union. — About 7 feet high, and rather slender. 

 Pods broad, and rather short, but not pointed, like those of the preced- 

 ing, and containing 6 peas in a pod. Of good quality, and very produc- 

 tive, but not so late as the last. 



" Group VII. Prussians. 



"33. Blue Prussians. French Synonymes : Nain vert petit, nain roy- 

 al, gros vert de Prusse. English Synonymes : Dwarf blue Prussian, roy- 

 al Prussian blue, fine long-podded dwarf, Prussian prolific, early Dutch 

 green, green Prussian. — About 3^ feet high, and of strong growth. 

 Pods long and rather round, containing 8 peas. This is so well known 

 that it is quite useless for me to say any thing about its good qualities. It is 

 undoubtedly the best for summer use, and one of the greatest bearers. 



"34. White Prussian. English Synonymes: Prolificor poor man's 

 profit, prolific, tall Prussian, dwarf white Prussian, new dwarf Norman, 

 royal dwarf, royal prolific, dwarf Tewsly, Stowe pea. — About 4 feet high, 

 and very robust. Pods broad, long, and rather flat, containing 7 or 8 

 peas, which are large and white, of good quality, and, like the blue 

 Prussian, an excellent summer pea, and very prolific. This is the best 

 sort for general cultivation, and well deserves the name of poor man's 

 profit: but it will not remain so long in bearing as the blue Prussian.
