GARDEX VARIETIES — PEAS. 



The early varieties have nothing to recommend them except their earliness 

 and the short vines wliich enable them to grow without brush or other support. 

 The later the variety, the better the quality, is a general statement which applies 

 to all varieties tested up to the present time. For harvesting before maturity, 

 either, for table use or for canning purpose, all varieties have given unusually 

 good results and have been uniformly free from disease and insects. With more 

 available room, ripening tests will be undertaken in answer to frequent requests 

 for information as to whether the varieties are profitably adapted for growing in
