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.
