VI PREFACE 



fact, one is surprised to note the dearth of specific 

 information provided on the subject in printed form. 

 One wishing facts on certain cultural principles 

 might find them in one place, and to get ideas on 

 insect and fungous pests would perhaps spend hours 

 searching elsewhere for desired information. There- 

 fore, the aim of this book is to save all this time and 

 perhaps spare the temper. 



An honest effort has been made to provide com- 

 prehensive, authoritative, and specific information 

 on the subject of Peas. Readers who note errors, 

 who have experiences not in accord, or which will 

 supplement the principles herein set forth, will 

 confer a favor by sending direct to the undersigned 

 to the end that the second edition may prove more 

 satisfactory to the author and the public alike.
