The varieties which appear as synonyms, exhibited slight vari- 
ations as to character, some stocks being more pure and better- 
selected than others, thus presenting in the mass a different 
aspect from the others. Caractacus produced fully the largest 
pods, and had a distinctive look. Taber's Perfection was rather 
later and a little more robust. Daniel O'Eourke and Hooper's 
Early Eival were exceedingly strong in growth and very inferior 
stocks. 
3. Early Emperor. 
Synonym. — Morning Star. 
Description. — See Proc. E. H. S. vol. i. 342. 
The samples of Early Emperor grown this year in the garden

Sown February 23. The first flower opened May 21. In full
