Black-Eyed Marrow- fat.--This variety is very- popular in all parts of our country for its productive- ness, but is very objection- able to many on account of having a strong flavor, which is peculiar to the Marrow Pea; this is a strong grower; very pro- ductive, and extensively cultivated by the market gardeners around Balti- more for their general crop, most of which are pur- chased by the canning es- tablishments; the Black- Eye is far superior to the "White, as it makes less growth of vine, is more productive and earlier; where quantity without quality is wanted, plant Marrowfats.
