EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



4 GEORGE V., A. 1914 



PEAS. 



The yields of 11 varieties of peas are shown herewith, together with those of 

 1911. All our pea crops were much more satisfactory in 1912 than in 1911 because 

 of the better opportunity of ripening, due to delay of early frosts. All the varieties 

 under test ripened in good condition. 



The Arthur Selected, although showing eighth in point of yield in 1912, is con- 

 sidered the most satisfactory of all the varieties owing to the fact that it was the 

 only one of all that fully ripened in the season of 1911.
