Report upon the Varieties of the Pea, 



No. 21. De Guiverigny. 



About four feet and a half 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. 



No. 22. Crown Pea. 



French Synonyms. Turc ou couronne — Turc a fleurs blanches. 

 English Synonyms. American Crown — Rose or Crown. 



About five feet and a half 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, con- 

 taining five or six peas. A very abundant bearer, of good quality 

 and very good for summer use. 



N. B. No. 20 and 22 should perhaps be referred to the 2nd 

 Class, but on account of their strong growth I have placed them in 

 the 4th Class ; they differ from it only in having small pods, and 

 from the 2d Class in growing very strong and being late. 



Class V. SUGAR PEAS. 

 No. 23. Large Crooked Sugar. 



French Synonyms. Sans parchemin blanc a grandes cosses-Mange-tout. 

 English Synonyms. New Pea-Sugar Pea-Broadsword-Early Spanish. 



About six feet high and very strong. Pods very large, broad 

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

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

 best in its class.
