No. 2. Early Dwarf. 



French Synonym. Nain hatif. 



This pea grows about a foot and a half high, and somewhat 

 resembles the preceding one, but is more prolific, of a darker green, 

 and about a week later in coming into use. Pods small and rather 

 broad, mostly containing five peas. It is the best of the dwarfs, as 

 it is very prolific and of good quality. 



No 3. Dwarf Brittany. 



French Synonyms. Tres nain de Br&agne— Tres nain de Brest. 



About six or eight inches high, of a dark green colour and of 

 slender growth. Pods small and nearly round, mostly containing 

 five peas. It is a few days later than the preceding, and is very fit 

 for late sowing, as it is a good bearer. 



No. 4. Common Spanish Dwarf. 



French Synonym. Pois en dventail. 



English Synonyms. New Early Spanish Dwarf-Spanish Dwarf or Fan-Dwarf Bog 

 — Knox's Dwarf. 



About two feet high and of strong growth. Pods rather broad, 

 flat and not very long, mostly containing four or five peas. A mo- 

 derate bearer and a few days later than Bishop's, which it somewhat 

 resembles. 



No. 5. Large Spanish Dwarf. 

 About three feet high and very strong. Pods longer than the 

 Common Spanish Dwarf and nearly round, mostly containing live 

 or six peas. Like the preceding only a moderate bearer.
