broad,
comparatively flat, containing about six very large peas, which are
sugary, tender, and excellent. The ripe seeds are shrivelled, and vary
in color; some being cream-white, and others bluish-green.

Sown May 1, the plants will blossom July 1, and the pods will be ready
for use the 15th of the same month.

Very prolific, and deserving of cultivation.

HARRISON'S GLORY. _Trans._

Plant three feet high, of a bushy, robust habit of growth; pods rather
short, nearly straight, and flattish, containing five or six
medium-sized peas, of good quality: when ripe, the seeds are
light-olive, mixed with white, and also slightly indented.

If planted May 1, the variety will flower June 23, and the pods will be
fit for gathering about the 10th of July.

A good variety; but, like Harrison's Glory, the pods are frequently not
well filled.

HARRISON'S PERFECTION. _Trans._

Plant three feet in height, of vigorous habit; pods small, straight,
containing five peas of good size and quality.

Sown the 1st of May, the variety will flower June 23, and the pods will
be fit for plucking about the 12th of July.

The only defect in this variety is, that the pods are often not well
filled. When growing, it is scarcely distinguishable from Harrison's
Glory; but, in the mature state, the seeds of the former are smooth and
white, while those of the latter are indented, and of an olive-color.

KING OF THE MARROWS.

Plant six feet in height, stocky, and of remarkably vigorous habit; pods
single or in pairs, containing five or six large seeds, which, when
ripe, are yellowish-green, and much shrivelled and indented, like those
of the Champion of England.

If planted May 1, the variety will blossom the last of June, and pods
for the table may be plucked about the 15th of July.

Though comparatively late, it is one of the best of the more recently
introduced sorts, and well deserving of general cultivation. When the
pods are gathered as fast as they become fit for use, the plants will
continue to put forth new blossoms, and form new pods for an
extraordinary length of time; in favorable seasons, often supplying the
table for five or six weeks.

It is very tender and sugary, and little, if at all, inferior to the
Champion of England.

In common with most of the colored pease, the ripe seeds, when grown in
this country, are much paler than those of foreign production; and, when
long cultivated in the climate of the United Sta
