PEAS. 



Six varieties were sown on the 6th of May on fallowed land. Each plot was one- 

 fortieth of an acre in area, and the seed was sown at the rate of two and one-halt 

 bushels per acre. 



Growth throughout the season was favourable, the earlier varieties producing 

 matured grain of good quality. The Arthur pea, in germination test, as well as in 

 yield, heads the list.
