PEAS. 



The wriiil^led sorts grenerally are better liketl than the smooth ones, and the 

 dwarf, also the half dwarf are more popular with farmers than the tall ones. The very 

 early varieties are to be recommended as, by successive sowings, a constant supply can 

 be had through the season. Gregory's Surprise is probably the best for this district on 

 account of its earliness, though old standard varieties like Stratagem, Heroine, and 

 Telephone yield a little more. Garden peas are not nearly as popular here as they 

 should be. It is interesting to note that our strain of Surprise was the earliest and 

 Stratagem the heaviest yielder of fifty-two strains and varieties tested in 1913, 



Cap Kolge.
