REPORT ON PEAS AT CHISWICK, 1898. 
Thirty-eight stocks of Peas were received for trial in the 
gardens, and twenty-five older varieties were grown with them 
for comparison. The whole collection was sown on March 15 
on ground that had been ridge-trenched in the early part of the 
winter and liberally manured. Owing to the drought the 
plants did not make such vigorous growth as usual; but the crop 
was good in most instances, and the plants entirely free from 
mildew. Two meetings were held by the Committee to examine 
them—on July 5, for the early varieties, and on July 22, for the 
later ones.
