tes, the blue or green
is frequently changed to pale-blue or yellowish-green, and often
ultimately becomes nearly cream-white.
KNIGHT'S DWARF BLUE MARROW.
A dwarfish sub-variety of Knight's Marrows, with wrinkled, blue seeds.
KNIGHT'S DWARF GREEN MARROW.
Knight's Dwarf Green Wrinkled.
Plant about three feet high; pods in pairs, three inches long,
three-fourths of an inch wide, flattish, and slightly bent. The ripe
pease are of a light bluish-green color. It differs from the foregoing
principally in the height of the plant, but also to some extent in the
form of the pods.
KNIGHT'S DWARF WHITE MARROW. _Law._
Knight's Dwarf White Wrinkled Marrow.
Plant three feet high; pods in pairs, three inches long, three-fourths
of an inch wide, straight, or nearly so, well filled, and terminating
abruptly at both ends; pea, on an average, about three-eighths of an
inch in diameter, flattened, and very much wrinkled; color white, and
sometimes of a greenish tinge. It is a few days earlier than the Dwarf
Green.
KNIGHT'S TALL BLUE MARROW.
A sub-variety of Knight's Tall Marrows, with blue, wrinkled, and
indented seeds. It resembles the Tall White and Tall Green Marrows.
KNIGHT'S TALL GREEN MARROW. _Law._ _Thomp._
Plant from six to seven feet in height, of strong growth; pods large,
broad, and well filled; the seed, when ripe, is green, and much wrinkled
or indented.
If planted the first of May, the variety will blossom towards the last
of June, and supply the table the middle of July.
The peas are exceedingly tender and sugary; the skin also is very thin.
"From their remarkably wrinkled appearance, together with the peculiar
sweetness which they all possess, Knight's Marrows may be said to form a
distinct class of garden-pease; possessing qualities which, together
with their general productiveness, render them a valuable acquisition,
both to cultivators and consumers."
If planted not less than six feet apart, these pease will bear most
abundantly from the ground to the top: they also yield their pods in
succession, and are the best for late crops.
KNIGHT'S TALL WHITE MARROW.
Knight's Tall White Wrinkled Marrow.
Height and general character of the plant similar to Knight's Tall Green
Marrow. Pods in pairs. The ripe seed is white. Very productive and
excellent.
MATCHLESS MARROW. _Cot. Gard._
This is a good marrow-pea, but now surpassed by the improved varieties
of the Early Green
