MID-SEASON PEAS TRIED AT WISLEY, 1916. 
One hundred and twenty-one stocks of Peas were grown for trial 
on ground that was trenched in the autumn of 1914, and dug and 
lightly manured in the autumn of 1915. The seeds were sown on 
March 31, 19 16, at distances between the rows varying according to 
height, from 4 to 6 feet. Germination was generally excellent, 
and the growth first class. The Pea Weevil attacked the plants when 
just through the soil, but one spraying with lead arsenate checked 
that pest. 
The rainfall was -98 April, 176 May, 1 55 June, So July. 
The cultivation was under the charge of the Superintendent and 
the fruit and vegetable foreman, Mr. J. Wilson. 
The trial was judged on July 17 for first mid-season, and on 
August 8 for the second mid-season varieties, and the following were 
selected as the best in their respective seasons.
