AN ANALYSIS OF THE PEA TRIALS AT WISLEY, 1911. 



71 



The interval between "first flower" and "ready to pick" was 

 longer in the second sowing than in either the first or third sowing. 

 In the case of the 80-90 day peas 0 times or 0 per cent.

The interval between " first flower " and "ready to pick" was 

 longer in the third sowing than in either the first or second sowing. 



In the case of 80-90 day peas 4 times or 100 per cent. 



„ 91-100 „ „ 12 „ 40 „ „ 



„ 101-110 „ „ 0 „ 0 „ „ 



„ 111-120 „ „ 1* „ 5 „ „ 



On the other hand, there are four cases in 101/110 day peas in 

 v/hich the interval at the third sowing was longer than the second. 



It appears that there is no case where a retardation has occurred 

 simultaneously in the intervals between " above ground " and " first 

 flower," and "first flower" and "ready to pick," but that any 

 retardation is made up for in an acceleration in either of the intervals. 



In the following Table III., the averages for each class have been 

 obtained and the maximum and minimum intervals noted. The last 

 two periods do not necessarily refer to the same stock.

T,able III. bears out in a marked way the acceleration and retarda- 

 tions in the different intervals, and it can be seen that in the case of 

 * This was the case of the 122-day pea, a selected 'Gladstone.'
