CLASSIFICATION OF HARDEN PEAS.

except that it is of much taller growth (it growing between six and 
seven feet high) and comes into use fully a fortnight later. It is al¬ 
so an abundant bearer, and of excellent quality. Seed white, large. 
34. Tall Green Marrow. —Syn. New large green Marrow. Late 
green Marrow. Valley field pea. Imperial green Marrow. South 
sea Pea. There is no difference between this and the preceding, 
except that the leaves and pods are a darker green. An abundant 
bearer, and of excellent quality. Seed the same as those of the 
dwarf green Marrow. 
35. De Guiverigny. —Syn. Carte blanc.—This variety is of large 
and strong growth, between six and seven feet high with rather short 
joints. Leaves large, pale green. Petioles long, the tendrils small, 
but numerous. Peduncles very short, bearing for the most part but 
one flower, which is very small. Pods much larger and broader than 
those of the White Marrows, which variety it somewhat resembles. 
It comes into use at the same time. Only a moderate bearer, but of 
excellent quality. Seed rather large, white. 
36. Large Green Marrow. —This is a tall very late pea, between 
six and seven feet high, of strong growth, branching much, and the 
joints rather distant. Leaves darkish green, and very large. Peti¬ 
oles very long, with large tendrils. Peduncles very short. Pods 
very large, broad, and well filled. Very prolific, and of excellent 
quality. This is one of the largest peas in the collection. Seed 
very large, and darker colour than those of the Green Marrow. 
9. SUGARS.—DWARF—EARLY. 
37. Dwarf Crooked Sugar. —Early dwarf de Grace Sugar.—This 
is the smallest variety in the collection, not exceeding four inches in 
height, very strong, with short joints, Leaves dark green, very 
small. Petioles short,' and the tendrils small. Peduncles not more 
than an inch in length, bearing two flowers, which are large, in pro¬ 
portion to the size of the plant. Pods very small, roundish, and 
well filled. Only a moderate bearer. Seed white, middling size. 
38. Early May Sugar. —This variety grows about eighteen 
inches high, rather slender, with short joints. Leaves dark green, 
middling size. Petioles short, and the tendrils small. Peduncles 
short, bearing for the most part two flowers. Pods very long, broad, 
and well filled. A most abundant bearer, and of excellent quality. 
I have no doubt when this variety is better known, that it will be 
extensively cultivated, more particularly so on account of its being 
so very dwarf, and coming into use quite as soon as the early frame. 
Seed white, and large.
