194 THE NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [5:7— oct.. 1909 



VI. Conclusion: If I were selecting peas for a school-garden 

 I would consider the time taken in the growth, and abundance of 

 the crop. Since schools close about the last week in June, from 

 the above varieties I would select the Prosperity or Vick's 

 Selected as they mature the earliest of any under consideration. 

 Of the dwarf peas I would select the Little Gem.
