 400 peas in No. 3 : 600 pods 475 peas in No. 4 ; 600 pods 475 peas in No. 5 ; 1,200 pods 400 peas in No. 6 ; 400 pods 250 

 peas in No. 7. 



Notes on above Tables. 



Pea Abundance : 



This I consider the very best for general purposes, although not producing such fine pods, or such 

 large peas as the taller growing varieties, it is far more profitable growing. As it grows only 2 feet high, 

 it is not liable to be damaged by heavy winds, and is not apparently liable to attacks of mildew, as no 

 trace of mildew appears on them at any time. The average production of 4 peas per pod was in some 

 cases almost doubled as I picked 12 pods with 7 peas in ; the number of peas in a pod was however 

 more uniform in this variety than in any. 



The flavour was only surpassed by one variety, viz. : Carter's Dignity. 



The taller peas Telephone, &c, require to be grown 6 to 8 feet apart between the rows. Abun- 

 dance has ample room at a yard. 

 Pea, Princess Royal : 



This pea ranks next for general purposes to Abundance, but is 4 feet higher, and the flavour is 

 not so good. 



Pea, Kentish Invicta : 

 It is also a good average pea. 

 Pea, darter's Telephone, 

 " Telegraph, 

 Duke of Albany, 

 Ne Plus Ultra : 



These four peas produced some grand pods ae good as could be seen in any country, and the 

 averages would have been much better but for a storm of wind and fine rain which lasted from the 

 12th to the 17th of June, three or four days after which all the tall peas were showing signs of mil- 

 dew. 



The average of 8 peas in a pod in the Duke of Albany it will be noticed is the highest, and must 

 be considered extremely good. 



Pea, Carter's Dignity : _ . 



This pea was the very best flavoured of any, the height 6 feet is not prohibitory, if anyone 

 wished for a luxury in the way of peas.
