Notes on some Varieties of Peas. 69 



Bcllamy''s Early Green Marrow. — Received from Messrs. 

 Sutton and Sons ; sown March 21st ; fit for use June 30th : 

 from 4^ to 5 feet high ; pods long, straight, cylindrical, con- 

 taining 6 to 7 peas, some of which when ripe and dry are 

 white ; others are olive-green. A good bearer, and on the 

 whole an excellent early pea. 



Sutto7i^s Snperb Green Marrow. — From Messrs. Sutton 

 and Sons ; sown March 21st ; fit for use July 14th ; from 5| 

 to 6 feet high ; pods flattish, nearly straight, containing about 

 6 large peas ; olive-green when dry ; bears tolerably ; but 

 the peas, in a young state, are not sufficiently sugary ; on the 

 contrary, they have a little of the harshness peculiar to the 

 wild or grey pea. It is therefore not to be recommended. 



New Indented Green Marrow. — Presented by Mr. Glen- 

 dinning ; sown March 21st ; fit for use July ISth ; about 5 

 feet high. A good pea, resembling Knight's Green Marrow ; 

 but the peas, when green, are not so sugary, and when dry 

 they are less indented. 



Victoria MaiTow. — Received from Mr, Kernan ; sown 

 March 21st ; fit for use July 24th ; height 6 to 6| feet ; pods 

 nearly 4 inches in length, generally in pairs, straight, round- 

 ish, containing 6, 7, or 8 large peas of good quality ; olive- 

 green when dry, and slightly indented. This variety bears 

 some resemblance to Knight's Tall Marrow ; but the pods 

 are larger and remarkably long and well filled ; like all others 

 it is less sugary than Knight's ; still the quality is very good. 

 It is a most abundant bearer ; and when we take into consid- 

 eration the length of pods, the number and size of the peas 

 they contain, it must be admitted that this is a remarkable 

 sort, highly deserving of cultivation. 



Flack's Neiv Large Victoria. — Presented by Mr. Glen- 

 dinning ; sown March 21st ; fit for use July 2nd ; height 2J 

 to 3 feet ; pods middle-sized, flattish, nearly straight ; peas 

 generally 6 in a pod, large, compressed, blue when dry, and 

 some partly white. A very good prolific dwarf variety. 



Bedman-s Imperial. — Received from Mr. Glendinning 

 and from Mr. Kernan; sown March 21st; fit for use July 

 14th ; from 2i to 3 feet high ; pods somewhat curved,
