very smart frosts followed, they received no injury. 

 I have uniformly found, that the earlier they were 

 sown the better. There is also a particular motive 

 for being as early as possible ; that is, to get 

 them off iii time for turnips. This is most pro- 

 fitable husbandry, and should never be neglected. 

 If they are sown in this month, and a right sort 

 chosen, they will be off the land in June, so that 

 . turnips may follow, at the common time of sowing 

 that crop. All the sorts of early pease should be 

 cultivated on dry soils only. They will grow on 

 moist, and even wet ones, but the crop is seldom 

 beneficial. Upon sands, dry sandy loams, gravels 

 and chalks, they succeed well. They are not, 

 however, to be much recommended on land in 

 tilth. Great success is rarely commanded, espe- 

 cially in a wet season, if they be not on a layer. 

 The following courses do well for them :
