GARDENERS' 



MAGAZINE 



A correspondence was raised in the Daily Press last Autumn upon the shortness of the 

 season when Green Peas are available, both in gardens and on the market. We now offer the 

 following as representing the best collection selected from 1,024 rows we had under trial last season 

 It would be difficult for us to give precise dates for putting the seed into the ground as so much 

 depends upon soil and situation. Successional Sowings may be made any time between these 

 dates, and the last sowing not later than the second week in June.
