r plucking July 16.

This is a very excellent pea, an abundant cropper, and considerably
earlier than the Auvergne and Shillings Grotto; to both of which it is
also greatly superior.

CLIMAX. _Trans._

Napoleon.

Plant three feet and a half high, of robust habit; pods single or in
pairs, three inches long, containing five or six peas; when ripe, these
are of medium size, pale-blue or olive, sometimes yellowish, shaded with
blue, and, like the Eugenie, much wrinkled and indented.

If sown the beginning of May, the variety will blossom about the 15th
of June, pods may be plucked for use the 10th of July, and the crop will
ripen the 25th of the same month.

English catalogues represent the Napoleon as being "the earliest blue
pea in cultivation, podding from the bottom of the haum to the top, with
fine large pods." In a trial growth, it proved early and productive; not
only forming a great number of pods, but well filling the pods after
being formed. In quality it is tender, very sweet and well flavored,
resembling the Champion of England. Its season is nearly the same with
that of the Eugenie, and the variety is well deserving of cultivation.

Mr. Harrison, the originator of the Eugenie and Napoleon, states that
both of the peas were originally taken from one pod.

DANTZIC. _Law._

Plant six to seven feet high, branching; pods in pairs, two and a half
inches long, half an inch broad, compact, and slightly bent. When ripe,
the seed is the smallest of all the light peas, quite round or
spherical, of a bright-yellow color, beautifully transparent, with
whitish eyes.

If sown the 1st of May, the plants will blossom the 8th of July, afford
pease for the table about the 25th of the same month, and ripen from the
10th to the middle of August.

It is not a productive variety, and is seldom cultivated in England or
in this country; but is grown extensively on the shores of the Baltic,
and exported for splitting, or boiling whole.

DICKSON'S FAVORITE. _Trans._

Dickson's Early Favorite.

Plant five feet high, stocky, vigorous, and very prolific; pods ten to
twelve on a stalk, long, round when fully grown, curved, hooked at the
extremity, but not so much so as in the Auvergne,--to which, in many
respects, it bears a strong resemblance. The pods are remarkably well
filled, containing from eight to ten peas of medium size, round, and
very white.

Planted the 1st of May, the variety blossomed June 25, and pods
