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 smooth. They contain seven very large peas, each of which is half an inch long, nearly the same broad; and, although they are not so closely packed as to compress each other, they fill the pods well.
When sown the first of May, the variety will blossom the last of June, and afford peas for use the 15th of July.
It is one of the best tall Marrows in cultivation. The ripe seed is mixed white and olive.
Noble's Early Green Marrow. Cot. Gard.
A sub-variety of Bellamy's Early Green Marrow. It is a much more abundant bearer; producing from eighteen to twenty pods on a plant, which are singularly regular in their size and form.
