and having seen them In growth, we recommend them with the utmost confidence for high quality and 
productiveness. s. d. 
Dr Maclean, Dr. Hogg says of this pea " It is the finest I ever saw grown, and in quality I cannot 
name a better, in productiveness unequalled, in size of pod unsurpassed by any save Superla- 
tive ■ in fulness it is replete, in colour all that can be wished, in sturdiness and vigour it satisfies 
an exacting criticism." ;-Per oz. 6 d per pint as. per quart 3 6

PEAS. 
The arrangement and descriptive matter following are the results of personal observations at our Ex- 
perimental Grounds, and at the Chiswick Gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society . 
All new Peas , or old Peas with new names, which are not quoted by us, can be supplied at advertised prices ; 
but intending purchasers of either of these two classes -would do well to read the Report of the last important Pea 
Trials conducted at the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at Chiswick. It will be found m the Journal of 
Horticulture, 14 th and 21 st Nov., 1872. The Report is very full, fair, and unbiassed in dealing with the 
would-be novelties in Peas which for years past have been foisted upon the public, unintentionally, perhaps, on 
the pari of the introducers, but complimentary in the highest degree to the Peas which they had re-christenea. I\o 
two Peas perhaps, have more synonymes, and no two Peas are to be matched in quality with the Britnh Queen and 
Ne Plus Ultra. Nine-tenths of the new Peas, excepting, of course , Mr . Laxton s hybrids, are either British 
Queen or Ne Plus Ultra. The Vegetable Trials at Chiswick, which are being conducted under the very able 
management of Mr. Bat r on, the superintendent, will prove of great advantage, to the gardening community, 
exposing, as these trials do, the fabrication of new names to standard varieties, giving due importance to bona, 
hae introductions, and also encouraging growers to maintain pure “ stocks." 
The varieties of Peas, and also other vegetable seeds which we enumerate and describe, are the best repre- 
sentatives of their classes. We mention this as, in our present edition, we have omitted the descriptions to many 
names, but have fully described the varieties most worthy of cultivation.
