Västerbotten [1], 24/05/1732, ¶217:
Potatoes do not get any bigger than poppies here; tobacco will only produce seed with the greatest of care and in the best years. ‘Phaseolus pumila’ [Dwarf French Bean] grows well but ‘scandens’ [Kidney Bean] never grows. ‘Paba’ [Broad Bean] likewise. ‘Pisum’ [Pea] will not come to maturity. ‘Rosa’ [rose], ‘Malus’ [apple], ‘Pyrus’ [pear] and ‘Prunus’ [plum] do not grow wild but may cultivated without great difficulty. ‘Radicula’ [cress], ‘Sinapi’ [White Mustard], ‘Raphanus rust, et hort.’ [Wild Radish and Garden Radish]. Podless peas excellently.
