branched ; nodes rarely more than three inches apart ; peduncles 
ond-half inch to two and a half inches long ; pods single, paler than 
the foliage, sometimes slightly recurved, one and a half to two and 
a half inches long, one-half inch wide, very plump and very blunt 
at the apex when fully developed ; peas three to seven in a pod, 
whitish green, much compressed in fully developed pods, three- 
eighths of an inch in diameter; seeds very much shrivelled, one- 
fourth of an inch in longest diameter, radical rather obscure. An - 
ounce contained 144 seeds. 
Not prolific, but very early, maturing its crop slowly. 
- Originated about 1875 with Mr. Thomas Laxton of Bedford, Eng, 
No. 38. Dwarr Cuampron. (Fer. 1883.) 
_ Plant three to four feet high; foliage scarcely glaucous; stipules 
slightly washed with white; stem rather slender, usually branched 
at the base; nodes rarely more than four inches apart; peduncles 
two to three inches long; pods slightly paler than the foliage, single, 
two and a half to three inches Jong, one-half inch wide, very blunt 
at the apex when fully developed ; peas four to six in a pod, whitish 
‘ green, somewhat compressed when full grown, three-eighths of an 
inch in diameter ; seeds very much shrivelled, usually showing two 
shades of cream color, about one-fourth of an inch in diameter, 
radical rather distinct. An ounce contained 123 seeds. 
Extremely prolific, medium in season, maturing its crop very 
gradually. 
No. 34. Day’s Harty Sunrisr. (Thor. 1882.) 
Plant two to three feet high; foliage rather deep green ; stipules 
scarcely washed with white, very slightly glaucous; stem sometimes. 
branched at the base, rarely above; nodes rarely more than two 
inches apart; pods usually in pairs, scarcely if at all paler than the 
foliage, two and a half to three inches long, about one-half inch 
wide, not well filled, tapéring gradually to-the apex; peas two to 
seven in a pod, flattened, whitish green, not compressed, one-half 
inch in longest diameter ; seeds flattened, sometimes shading toward 
green, not much shrivelled, three- eighths of an inch in longest dia- 
meter, radical not very distinct. An ounce contained sixty-nine ~ 
seeds. 
This variety has a very striking resemblance to the Eugenia pea, 
the only apparent difference being that the pods are straight, the 
seeds less shrivelled, and that it is a little less prolific. 
Introduced by Waite & Co., England, in 1881. (Gar. Chron.) 
8§ Pods more or less recurved. 
No. 35. Evernta. (Thor. 1882.) 
Synonym. Ad/zance. (Burr, and Vil.) 
Plant two and a half to three and a half feet high ; foliage deep 
green ; stipules glaucous, washed with white toward the base of the 
plant; stem rather slender, not often branched; nodes rarely more 
than three inches apart ; peduncles three-fourths of an inch to two- 
Moderately prolific, rather late, maturing its crop rather gradually.
