ground well enriched, will yield as much to a given quantity of land as
any pea known to us."

It is a desirable variety in the kitchen garden; as, from its exceeding
dwarfish habit, it may be so sown as to form a neat edging for the walk
or border.

VEITCH'S PERFECTION. _Trans._

Plant three feet and a half to four feet high, of strong, robust growth,
somewhat branched; pods ten or twelve on a stalk or branch, large, flat,
straight, containing six or eight large peas, which are very sugary and
excellent. The ripe seeds are large, of a light olive-green color; some
being nearly white.

Planted the 1st of May, the variety will be in flower June 28, and the
pods will be fit for use about the middle or 20th of July. It is one of
the best pease for main or late crops.

VICTORIA MARROW. _Thomp._

Plant from six to seven feet high; pods remarkably large, nearly four
inches in length, generally in pairs, straight, roundish, well filled,
containing from six to eight peas of extraordinary size and of good
quality. The ripe pease are olive-green.

The Victoria Marrow is not early. Planted May 1, it will blossom the
last of June, and be fit for the table from the middle of July.

This variety bears some resemblance to Knight's Tall Marrow; but, like
nearly all others, it is less sugary. Those who have a fancy for large
pease will find this perhaps the largest.

WARNER'S EARLY EMPEROR. _Thomp._

Warner's Early Conqueror. Early Railway. Early Wonder. Beck's
Morning-star. Early Emperor.

This variety grows somewhat taller, and is a few days earlier, than the
Prince Albert: the pods and pease are also somewhat larger. It is an
abundant bearer; and, on the whole, must be considered a good
sub-variety of the Early Frame.

WOODFORD'S MARROW. _Cot. Gard._

Nonpareil.

Plant of strong and robust habit of growth, like a vigorous-growing
Marrow; rising with a stem three feet and a half high, which is
sometimes simple, but generally branching at about half its height from
the ground. The pods begin to be produced at little more than half the
height of the plant; and, from that point to the top, every joint
produces single or double pods, amounting, in all, to ten or twelve on
each. They are single or in pairs, in nearly equal proportions, about
three inches and a half long, seven-tenths of an inch broad, quite
smooth, and of a dark-green color. When ready to gather, they are rather
flattened, but become round as t
