sugar. Sansparchmin blanc a grand cosse. Sansparchmin blanc 
tres long coss. Sansparchmin blanc a rames. Pois blanc a grande 
cosse. This variety grows between five and six feet high, strong, 
and the joints very distant. Leaves pale yellowish green, and large. 
Petioles very short, with small tendrils. Peduncles short, and the 
flowers very small. Pods very large and broad, frequently six inches 
in length. A good bearer, and of excellent quality. Comes into 
use about the same time as the Blue Imperial. Seed white, large. 
46. Late Tall Sugar:-— Syn. Tall Sugar.—Large green Sugar. 
Grows much the same height as the preceding, with short joints, very 
strong, and branching. Leaves very large, dark green. Petioles 
very long, with large tendrils. Peduncles long, bearing for the most 
part two flowers, which are rather small. Pods very similar to those 
of the Tall Sugar. A good bearer, and is about a fortnight later 
than that variety. Of good quality. Seed large, white. 
47. Late Wyker Sugar.-- -Grows between six and seven feet high, 
rather strong, branching a little, with short joints. Leaves middling- 
size, pale green. Petioles long, bearing small tendrils. Peduncles 
short. Pods rather small, roundish, and well filled. Very prolific, 
and of excellent quality. This is the latest of the Sugar Peas. Seed 
white, rather large. 
13. GREY PEAS.—DWARF—EARLY. 
48. Purple Podded Grey.--- Syn. Creswell’s new pea. This sin¬ 
gular variety grows about five feet high, strong, the joints very dis¬ 
tant, and deeply stained with purple. Leaves large, dark green. 
Petioles long, and the tendrils large. The peduncles, which are 
stained with purple, are short, and bear for the most part but one 
flower, which is of a light purple colour. Pods large, broad, and well 
filled : but what is most remarkable, they are a deep purple colour 
when young, and retain it till they are quite ripe. Seed large, irre¬ 
gularly round, and of a light or pale grey colour. It is a good bearer, 
but of course not fit for the table.

and five feet high, strong, branching a little, with short joints. 
Leaves a dark glaneous green, middling size. Petioles short, and 
the tendrils small. Peduncles short, and the flowers rather darker 
colour than the other grey peas. Pods large, and well filled. A 
good bearer, and like the preceding and succeeding varieties only fit 
for field culture. Seed rather large, darkish grey.
