Marrow. It possesses no qualities superior to that
variety, and is not so early. The plant grows from five to six feet in
height; and the pods contain about seven large peas, which are closely
compressed together.

MILFORD MARROW. _Cot. Gard._

The plant is of a strong and robust habit of growth, always with a
single stem, attaining the height of four and a half or five feet, and
producing from twelve to sixteen pods, which are almost always in pairs,
three inches and three-quarters long, and three-quarters of an inch
wide. They do not become broad-backed, thick, or fleshy, but rather
shrivelled, and contain from six to seven very large peas, which are
roundish and somewhat compressed, half an inch long, nearly the same
broad, and nine-twentieths thick.

Its season is near that of Bellamy's Early Green Marrow; if planted May
1, blossoming June 28, and being fit for plucking about the middle of
July.

MISSOURI MARROW.

Missouri Marrowfat.

Plant three feet and a half or four feet high, strong and vigorous,
generally simple, but sometimes divided into branches; pods single and
in pairs, three inches long, wrinkled on the surface as they ripen,
nearly straight, and containing about six peas, rather closely set
together. When ripe, the pea is similar to the Dwarf Marrow in form, but
is larger, paler, more wrinkled, and much more regular in size.

Plants from seed sown May 1 were in blossom the 30th of June, and pods
were gathered for use the 14th of July. It is a few days later than
Fairbeard's Champion of England, and nearly of the season of the Dwarf
Marrowfat, of which it is probably but an improved or sub-variety.

It is of American origin, very productive, of good quality, and well
deserving of cultivation.

NE PLUS ULTRA. _Cot. Gard._

Jay's Conqueror.

This is comparatively a recent variety. It belongs to the wrinkled class
of pease; is as early as Bellamy's Green Marrow; and possesses, both in
pod and pea, the same fine, deep, olive-green color.

The plant is of strong and robust habit of growth, six to seven feet
high, with a branching stem. It begins to produce pods at two or two and
a half feet from the ground; and the number, in all, is from twelve to
eighteen. The pods are generally in pairs, three inches and a half long,
three-fourths of an inch wide, very plump and full, almost round,
slightly curved, and terminate abruptly at the end. Their color is deep,
bright-green, and the surface
