Of fifteen varieties (so called by the seedsmen) the following appear to be the best, as proved in the Horticultural Society's Garden: - American Dwarf, sown April 6. flt for use July 8th; about one and a half foot high, a good bearer, ripeniag about ten days later than Bishop's Long Pod. Stubb's or Burbidge's Eclipse, sown April 6th, fit for use July 12; a good dwarf for its season, having the peas larger than any other variety equally dwarf. Hunter's New Marrow, sown April 6th, fit for use July 18th; larger than Knight's Dwarf Marrow, and of very sugary quality; a good bearer.- Ibid. p. 282-8. Hairs' Dwarf Green Mammoth Marrow, two and a half feet high, sown March 11th, in full flower June 24th; serving of cultivation. It must here be remarked, that April 9th is much too late to sow Cauliflowers to prove in this country; for every gardener knows that a kind that comes good in spring may be almost worthless in a dry hot summer. The early varieties were failures; but the late kinds were good. In experiments upon vegetables, it is important that they should be proved in the best season for their growth.
