300 LEGUMINOUS PLANTS. 



Beck's Prize- Plant four and a half to five feet in height ; 

 taker. Trans. 



pods roundish, containing seven to eight 



middle-sized peas of a fine green color when young, and 

 mixed olive and white when ripe. 



Sown May 1, the plants blossomed June 25, and the pods 

 were suitable for plucking the 12th of July. 



It is one of the best varieties for the main crop. 

 Similar to, if not identical with, Bellamy's Early Green 

 Marrow. 



Bedman's Plant from three to four feet high : the pods 



Imperial. . 



Cot. Gard. are usually in pairs, and contain from six to 



seven peas, which are of an ovate form, and 

 about a third of an inch in their greatest diameter. The 

 ripe seed is pale blue. 



Planted May 1, the variety blossomed fhe last of June, 

 and furnished peas for use the 18th of July. 



For many years, this variety stood foremost among the 

 Imperials, but is now giving place to other and greatly 

 superior sorts. 



Bellamy's Plant four and a half or five feet high, pro- 



Early Green , . ,, , . , 



Marrow. ducing irom twelve to eighteen pods, which 



Cot. Gard. contain, on an average, from six to seven large 

 bluish-green peas. The ripe seed has a mixed appearance ; 

 some being dull yellowish- white, and others light olive-green, 

 in about equal proportions. 



Plants from seed sown the first week in May were in 

 blossom the last week in June, and pods were plucked for 

 use the middle of July. 



The variety is highly recommended, both as a good bearer 

 and a pea of excellent quality, whether for private use or 

 for marketing : for the latter purpose it is peculiarly adapt- 

 ed, as the pod is of a fine, deep color, handsomely and reg- 

 ularly shaped, and always plumply filled.
