EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 



Meanwhile, a table is here published giving the best early, medium early, and 

 late peas, for an average of three years, i.e., seasons 1911, 1912, and 1913, which does 

 not differ very much from former results published. In the list of the six best varie- 

 ties of the three different grades, for 1913 alone, however, several varieties are intro- 

 duced which deserve attention, such as : Sutton's Early Giant, Nott's Excelsior, Little 

 Marvel, and Dainty Duchess. There are others too, which should be included, such al 

 Gradus, Green Gem, Large Podded Alaska, for early varieties; Quite Content,, Tele- 

 phone, Eivenhall Wonder, Witham Wonder, Mayflower, for a medium; and Cracker 

 Jack, Burpee's Quality,* Up-to-Date, for late varieties. 



For a continued cropping of green peas, it is preferable to sow varieties of good 

 yield, and quality, that vary in the length of time they take to develop a crop, rather 

 than making successive sowings of the same variety, and for choosing such varieties, 

 the above mentioned, and the tables, will serve as a guide. Only varieties of good 

 quality are recommended.
