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.
