SECOND EAELT AND SUMMER PEAS. 



In the trials of garden peas at the Society's 

 garden at Chiswick, under the superinten- 

 dence of Dr. Hogg, the number of useful 

 kinds of second etirly marrows and impe- 

 rials was found to be susceptible of a similar 

 reduction as that made in strictly early 

 kinds. "We now continue from last montli 

 the list of really desiriible varieties for 

 second and succession ci'ops, reminding the 

 reader that these were sown on the same 

 day as the rest, namely, the 19ch of Feb- 

 ruary.
