 About six feet and a half high and of slender growth. Pods 

 small, round and straight, containing seven or eight 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 ex- 

 cellent."

 About five feet and a half high and of strong growth. Pods 

 small, round and straight, containing seven or eight peas. Of ex- 

 cellent quality and very prolific. 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.

English Synonym. Late Dwarf Sugar. 



About four feet high and of robust growth. Pods large, broad 

 and much curved, containing nine or ten peas. Of excellent quality

 long and are produced the latest in this class.

 moderate bearer. This is the earliest pea in the collection, but is 

 very tender and will not do to sow before the beginning of March.
