 Of excellent quality, a good bearer and one of the best peas for 

 summer, as it is very late in coming into use.

About seven feet high and rather slender. Pods broad and 

 rather short, but not pointed like those of the preceding, and con- 

 taining six peas in a pod. Of good quality and very productive, 

 but not so late as the last.

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

 known that it is quite useless for me to say any thing about its 

 good qualities. It is undoubtedly the best for summer use and 

 one of the greatest bearers.
