PEA TRIALS IN LINCOLNSHIRE 
Wuen at Boston about the middle of July, I had 
an opportunity of seeing a large and very successful 
trial of Peas in the seed-trial grounds of Measra, W. 
eed merchants of that town, 
red no pains in getting 
together gll the new varieties he could obtain; the 
seeds of which were sown in good ground, Every trial
