THE FLORAL AYORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 
McLean’s Prolific (3 feet). — This resembles the preceding in its 
general characters, but having larger pods. The latter are broad, 
slightly curved, and contain six or seven peas each, which are of 
most excellent flavour. June 28. 
British Queen (6 feet). — A well-kr.cwn pea of the most prolific 
character and finest flavour; in mild seasons it will continue in bearing 
until quite late in the autumn. It is known under a host of other 
names, and is undoubtedly one of the best late varieties. June 30. 
The Prince (3 feet). — A capital variety, of a robust branching 
habit. The pods are about the same size as Veitch’s Perfection, 
and it may be considered an exceedingly fine form of that pea, and 
when it can be obtained true is superior to it. Not unfrequently 
both varieties are supplied from the same bag. June 30. 
McLean’s Premier (3 feet). — An excellent pea, producing large 
and handsome pods, containing from six to seven large fine peas of 
fine colour and excellent flavour. It is rather earlier and less tender 
than Yeitch’s Perfection. 
James’s Prolific (3 feet) — Robust and branching, with long 
succulent stems, producing a profusion of very large, handsome, well- 
filled pods. The pods contain from six to eight peas of a pale green 
colour and rich sugary flavour. One of the finest peas that has been 
introduced for some years. It was raised by Mr. J ames, of Isleworth, 
and will undoubtedly be grown exclusively for main crops in many 
gardens as soon as it is plentiful enough. A first-class certificate 
was awarded it for its general good qualities. Sown March 1, it was 
fit for use July 14. New. 
No. 6. — Wkinkled GnEEif Marrows. — Ripe seed, mixed white 
and olive. Foliage dark green, and blotched pods dark dull green ; 
very glaucous. 
Lr. Sogg* (3| feet). — This resembles Sangster’s No. I in habit, 
and produces, rather freely, long and narrow well-filled pods. The 
peas are of a fine flavour, and bright green colour. It is the earliest 
green wrinkled marrow, being only four days later than Dillistone’s 
Early. June 16. New. 
Ne Plus Ultra (6 feet). — A first-class tall pea for late main crop, 
that can be highly recommended for productiveness and excellent 
quality. June 29. 
Omega (3 feet). — A fine, erect, robust-growing variety, of the 
most productive character ; the pods are large, nearly straight, and 
very closely filled. The peas average eight in a pod, are very large, 
of a deep green colour, and most excellent flavour. It stands the 
dry weather well, and is quite first-rate. It was awarded a first- 
class certificate. June 30. New. 
No. 7. — Wrinkled EnrE Marrows. — Ripe seed, blue and 
wrinkled. Foliage dark green and much blotched. 
Alpha (3 feet). — A ver\^ early and excellent wrinkled marrow, 
coming into use two days later than Sangster’s No. I. June 14. 
Little Gem (15 inches). — One of the very best of the dwarf 
varieties, requiring no stakes. It is moderately productive, and of 
excellent quality. June 16. 
Popular (6^ feet). — Excellent tall-growing pea for general crops.
