PEA. (Pi'sum sali'vum.) There are 

 many varieties, but a great sameness 

 about those of the early kinds. One good 

 \ triety is all that is required in a small 



garden; and for one combining all the 

 good qualities of a pea the Early Con- 

 queror, 3 feet high, is the best. The Early 

 Warwick, Prince Albert, Danecroft Rival, 

 Shilling's Grotto, &c., are also all good, 

 well-known peas, where variety is required. 

 The best varieties to succeed are tho 

 Blue Scimitar, 2f to 3 feet high ; Cham- 

 pion of England, a first-rate pea, 4 to 5 

 feet high ; Reliance Marrow, 6 to 7 feet 

 high ; British Queen, 6 to 7 feet high ; 

 Bishop's new Long-pod Dwarf; all of 

 which are first-rate peas to succeed each 

 other from May till November. There 

 are many other good varieties, such as 

 the Auvergne,^ to 5 feet high; Spanish 

 Dwarf, 1 to 2 feet high ; Banksian Blue, 



2 to 3 feet high ; Rinywood Marrow, 4 to 



5 feet high ; Blue Imperial, 3 feet high ; 

 Blue Surprise, 4 to 5 feet high; Wood- 

 ford Marrow, 3 feet high ; Knights Tall 

 Marrow, 7 to 8 feet high ; Knight's Dwarj 

 Green, 3 feet high ; Tall Green, 6 to 7 

 feet high ; Mammoth Tall Green Marrow, 



6 to 7 feet high ; Dwarf Green Marrow, 



3 feet high ; and Hair's Dwarf Green 

 Mammoth, 4 feet high. 



One quart of an early variety of pea is 

 quite sufficient for sowing a row 100 feet 

 in length ; half a pint less sown in the 

 same distance of the blue varieties, and 

 one pint of the large and tall kinds,-are 

 sufficient where the soil is rich, well pul- 

 verized, and pretty free from slugs, &c. 



Soil. A soil moderately rich and open 

 is best, rather inclining to strong for the 

 lofty growers and main crops, but for the 

 early and late ones, light and dry. Dwarf 

 varieties will grow on poorer and lighter 

 soils than the others. 



Early Peas. The best mode of obtain- 

 ing these is according to the following 

 plan, suggested by Mr. Bishop, gardener 

 :o C. Baldwin, Esq., of Camberwell: 



In the last week of January, cut some 

 turf in strips of three inches in width, 

 ;he length depending on the width of the 

 lotbed in which they are to be placed. 

 Lay the pieces of turf in the frame, grass 

 downwards, close together ; then make in 

 ,he centre of each piece of turf, by press- 

 ng it with the edge of a board, a drill, in 

 which sow the peas, which soon come up ; 

 and then take the lights entirely off in the 

 day-time unless very cold, and shut them 

 lown at night. Keep them close till the 

 Beginning of March. When the peas are 

 ;o be planted in the border, lift the box 

 entirely off, and the strips of turf, in
