In quoting the foregoing list of Peas, Mr. WtLHAM Butt, has endeavoured to make the collection 
as select as possible, by ofi'ering only the very best and most distinct sorts in each section. Many 
well-known, and at one time highly approved kinds, have now given place to much larger, more pro- 
lific, and superior flavoured varieties, which Mr. William Bull feels assured ho has included in the 
list given above. If, however, any sorts not enumerated should bo required, ho can at all times 
supply them at current prices. 
'The soil in which Peas luxuriate most is a free light, but rich loam, abounding tvith vegetable , 
matter ; when necossai-y to manm'e at the time of sowing, it should bo weU mixed with soil, xiarti- 
cularly at the bottom of the trench. For the earliest crop sow about the middle of November, in 
situations where they can bo protected in severe weather, another sowing about the end of January, 
and for a regular succession during summer and autumn sow every three weeks up to the end of 
June. The late wrinkled varieties should be sown during April and May, ami for the last crop sow 
a good sort out of the second early section, in cxiiosed and open situations. When the plants are 
about 3 inches high, the soil should bo drawn against them on both sides. The distance between 
the rows is generally regulated by the extent of ground at disposal, the earlier varieties 4 feet, and 
the late and tall kinds not less than G feet apart, so that both sides of the rows may have full benefit 
of light and air. In very dry weather, watering with liquid manure will bo beneficial.
