CLASSIFICATION OF GARDEN PEAS. 
15. GREY PEAS.—TALL—EARLY. 
50. Tall Capuainer.— This variety grows about six feet high, 
strong and branching, with short joints. Petioles long, with small 
tendrils. Peduncles short, and the flowers of a pale purple colour. 
Pods very large, broad, and well filled. Only a moderate bearer. 
Seed large, irregularly round, of a pale grey colour, with a black eye. 
16. GREY PEAS.—TALL—LATE. 
51. Dutch Grey.— -Grows between six and seven feet high, strong, 
and the joints very distant. Leaves large, dark green. Petioles long, 
with small tendrils. Peduncles long, and the flowers, which are very 
large, of a dark purple colour. Pods middling size, roundish, and 
well filled. A good bearer, and about a fortnight later than the pre¬ 
ceding. Seed large, darkish grey, with a black eye. 
52. Maple Grey.-- -Syn. Partridge Grey. Marlborough Grey. 
This somewhat resembles the Dutch Grey, but is of dwarfer growth, 
rather slender, with long joints. Leaves dark green, middling size. 
Petioles rather long, with small tendrils. Peduncles short, the flow¬ 
ers large, and of a dark purple colour. Pods small, roundish, and 
well filled. An excellent bearer, and a few days later than the Dutch 
Grey. Seed rather small, pale grey. 
53. Late Grey Rouncival.-— This variety grows between six and 
seven feet high, strong, and branching, with short joints. Leaves 
very large, of a lightish green colour. Petioles long, and the tendrils 
large. Peduncles short, the flowers white, and very small. Pods 
very large, broad, and well filled. A good bearer. Seed very large, 
brownish white, with a black eye. 
54. Grey Rouncival.— -Syn. Giant. Pois rouge, tres grande.— 
Grows upwards of seven feet high, strong and branching, with long 
joints. Leaves large, dark green. Petioles long, with small tendrils. 
Peduncles short, and the flowers light purple. Pods very large, 
broad, and well filled. Only a moderate bearer, and a few days la¬ 
ter than the preceding. Seed large, dark grey, with a black eye. 
55. Scarlet Flowered Grey.— -Syn. Sansparchmin a fleur rouge. 
This variety grows between seven and eight feet high, strong, 
branching much with rather long joints. Leaves large, dark green. 
Petioles rather short, and the tendrils small. Peduncles short, and 
the flowers, which are small, are of a bright red or pink colour. Pods 
rather small, roundish, and well filled. A good bearer, but very 
late. Seed large, darkish grey. This variety, I have no doubt, 
would be a great acquisition to the ornamental departments.
