 inches long and 12 inches in diame- 

 ter. Skin is a rich, dark green; flesh 

 bright scarlet, ripening close to the 

 rind, which is but half an inch thick, 

 so that shipping it long distances is 

 not practicable. Crisp, sugary, melt- 

 ing and entirely free from stringiness.

CULTURE. — This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in soups, stews, etc., to which they 

 impart a nch flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed thickly in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the 

 ground has become warm, in drills 3 feet apart, i inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills.

 pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and stews, besides being very palatable when stewed 

 and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily dried for winter. It is universally used 

 through the South and is as easily raised as a weed in the North. So delicious is the flavor that when
