" 20. Pea}-1 or Nonsuch. — About 6 ft. high, not of very strong growth, and 

 bearing some resemblance to the tall white marrow, but the pods are rounder, 

 and much smaller. Of good quality, but a moderate bearer, 



"21. De Guiverig7iy. — About 4^ ft. high, of very strong growth, and re- 

 sembling the dwarf white marrow, but much taller, and the pods are rounder ; 

 in other respects nearly the same. 



" 22. Crown Pea. French Synonymes : Turc ou couronne, turc a fleurs 

 blanches. English Synonymes : American crown, rose or crown. — About 

 bh ft high, of very strong growth, with the blossoms in tufts at the extremity, 

 somewhat like a crown (from which it derives its name). Pods small, round, 

 and straight, containing 5 or 6 peas. A very abundant bearer, of good quality, 

 and very good for summer use. 



" 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 

 differ from it only in having small pods; and from the 2d Group, in growing very 

 strong, and being late. 



" Group V. Sugar Peas. 



" 23. Large Croohed Sugar. French Synonymes : Sans parchemin blanc a 

 grandes cosses, mange-tout. English Synonymes : New pea, sugar pea, broad- 

 sword, early Spanish. — About 6 ft. high, and very strong. Pods very large, 

 broad, and much twisted, containing 9 peas. Peas large, and very pro- 

 minent in the pods. Of excellent quality, very productive, and the best in its 

 class. 



" 24. Fihnorin's Sugar. — About 6^ ft. high, and of slender growth. Pods 

 small, round, and straight, containing 7 or 8 peas, which, as in all the other 

 sugar peas, are very prominent, even when quite young. Of excellent quality, 

 and the greatest bearer in this class. It was received from M. Vilmorin as an 

 " espece de pois tres-excellent." 



"25. Alberjas. — About 6^ ft. high, and of sti'ong growth. Pods small, 

 round, and straight, containing 7 or 8 peas. Of excellent quality, and very pro- 

 lific. It was brought from Mendoza by Dr. Gillies. There is sometimes a very 

 thin skin inside the pods of this sort, which makes it distinct from all others 

 in the class.

 high, and of robust growth. Pods large, broad, and much curved, containing 9 

 or 10 peas. Of excellent quality, and a very abundant bearer. The pods are

 in the collection, but is very tender, and will not do to sow before the begin- 

 ning of March.

 glish Synonyme : Ledman's dwarf. — About 3 ft. high, and of very strong

 without being shelled.
