EXPERIMENTS WITH PEAS. 



Ten varieties of peas were sown, at the rate of about 2 bushels per acre, in 

 duplicate, on one-sixtieth acre plots, on June 1. The wet season caused the peas, 

 with the exception of the Arthur, to bloom very late into the autumn. On Septem- 

 ber 14 they were cut, and before they were dry enough to bunch a gale of wind rolled 

 them every way, mixing all but the Arthur into one another so that the yields could 

 not be ascertained.
