TERMS OF SALE. 
We grow our own Seeds, and every possible pains taken, and tbe strictest attention is 
paid, to have and supply every item as per Catalogue ; but there are so many always 
anxious to rush into litigation for the sake of compensation for any trifle, and failures which 
may occur over which we have no control, that we are compelled to issue this notice :

productiveness, or any other matter of any Seeds they send out, and they will 
not be in any way responsible for the Crop. If the purchaser does not accept

PEAS (PISUM SATIVUM). 
CULTURE. — Trenching or deep digging is highly necessary for Peas, in fact ail vegetable culture; 
even this is nearly always done, as unwisely as can be. Take all the top good soil ojf and throw in 
on the. second trench, keeping the lojt on the. top, and then thoroughly break up the lower spit, which 
is generally very inferior, another foot ; this done, the ground is then of double value — in fact, every 
inch of soil should he done thus, and then our crops wotdi be for ever considerably more productive. The 
ground should be well pulverised, and enriched with good manure, burnt rubbish, and lime. The earliest 
varieties may be sown about the second or third week in November, or frst week in December, another 
sowing in .lanuary, and continuous sowings in the order they stand, every three weeks, up to the end of 
July. Sow in rows four to seven feet apart, according to height, which varies wonderfdly , for instance, 
when about Jive or six inches above ground ; thin out if required, and properly stick. We find boards 
edgeways along the rows, on the windward side, capital protection. Jn a dry summer like 1887 , when the 
Pea season was brought to a premature close, the advantages that may be derived from planting them in 
trenches were more apparent than usual. On soils of a light and burning nature, this is the only 
way whereby good crops of this vegetable may be ensured. If the trenches are taken out in the winter 
time, and the soil laid up on each side of them, it will .sweeten, and when the time comes J'or sowing, be in 
a much better condition than digging can bring it to. If the refuse, from the rubbish heap, mixed with its 
own bulk of manure, be laid in the bottom of the trenches, the roots will Jind their way into it, greatly to 
their benefit, ivhen dry exhaustive weather comes. The dijj'erence in the yield of Peas grown in this way 
is great compared to the ordinary method. 
SECTION I, ; or, EARLIEST VARIETIES. Height 
in feet. 
Sangster’s No. 1, Improved— A very early variety, only three days later than 
Kingleader, far more prolific, and ready for gathering about a week earlier than 
the old variety of Sangster’s No. 1 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 3 
Kentish Invicta— The earliest blue Pea in cultivation, with handsome, well- 
filled pods 3 
William the First— A remarkably fine early Pea, most i«odnctive, rich sweet flavour 3J 
Blue Peter — Early and distinct li 
Dr. Hogg — An early wrinkled Marrow, with handsome pods of dark green colour, 
possessing the flavour of some of the late varieties 3^ 
William Hurst — One of the earliest and best wrinkled varieties. The pods are 
supposed to be much finer than those of “ American tVonder” or “Little Gem” 1
