 vigorous growth from the F^ seed if grown under the same

15. Peas are not suited either to the dry season or to the wet

16. Peas are little affected by insects or fungous pests if grown 

 during the cool months. 



17. The tall late varieties respond more favorably to tropical 

 conditions than do the early dwarfs.

 have them as vital as possible at planting time. 



In the preparation of this work I received valuable aid and 

 suggestions from Dr. E. B. Copeland, dean of the College of 

 Agriculture; Dr. F. W. Foxworthy, associate professor of den- 

 drology and chief of the School of Forestry; and Prof. C. F. 

 Baker, chief of the department of agronomy.
