Frost Bean, is good only to shell.
Six Weeks Bean, is a yellowish Bean, and early brought forward, and tolerable.
Lazy Bean, is tough, and needs no pole.
English Bean what they denominate the Horse Bean, is mealy when young, is
profitable, easily cultivated, and may be raised on wornout grounds; I cannot
but recommend the more extensive cultivation of them.
The small White Bean, is best for winter use, and excellent.
Calivanse, are run out, a yellow small bush, a black speck or eye, are tough and
tasteless, and little worth in cookery, and scarcely bear exportation.
Peas - Green Peas.
The Crown Imperial, takes rank in point of flavor, they blossom, purple and
white on the top of the vines, will run from three to five feet high, should be
set in light sandy soil only, or they run too much to vines.
The Crown Pea, is second in richness of flavor.
The Rondekaval, is large and bitterish.
Early Carlton, is produced first in the season - good.
Marrow Fats, green, yellow, and is large, easily cultivated, not equal to
others.
Sugar Pea, needs no bush, the pods are tender and good to eat, easily
cultivated.
Spanish Manratto, is a rich Pea, requires a strong high bush.
All Peas should be picked carefully from the vines as soon as dew is off,
shelled and cleaned without water, and boiled immediately; they are thus the
richest flavored.
Herbs, useful in Cookery.
Thyme, is good in soups and stuffings.
