PEAS. 



Many growers are confronted with the same difficulties in cltoosiug suitable- 

 varieties of garden peas, as with the tomatoes, because of the large number of varie- 

 ties on the market. . 



The latest summary of the work done with peas is given in the 1910 report, with^ 

 a table of the best varieties taken from an average of three years. The same methods 

 as are described there have been continued since, that is: The varieties that have 

 proven superior to the others are tested out in 100-foot rows, the peas being planted- 

 by hand 1 inch apart in the small furrows. The other varieties are sown in rows 30- 

 feet long, and 3 feet apart like the others. Seventy-four varieties were tested last 

 year, including the recognized varieties on the market, and several novelties. The 

 varieties in the 100-foot rows are picked green, while the others are allowed to mature 

 after all notes are taken, and the seed front these is used for the following season. 

 We hope to .show, in time, some interesting results from comparisons of home-growr 

 with imported seed, of as manj' vegetables as the seed of which can be saved in our 

 climate and under our conditions.
