The convenient height (i|^ to z feet) and good 
cropping qualities of this valuable second- 
early Pea will be highly appreciated. The 
haulm is heavily laden with fair-sized pods, 
containing about 7 large Peas of the choicest 
quality. 
From Mr. G. BRUNDRIT, Bucklow Hill Your New 
Pea—‘ Promotion '—cannot be too highly spoken of. I had 
an excellent crop. The pods are large, and well filled with 
Peas ot tine flavour, and being dwarf, but few sticks are 
required—a great consideration where sticks are scarce.”

A cross between the varieties Prince of 
Wales and Culverwell Giant Marrow, and is 
a very remarkable cropper, the pods being 
produced mostly in pairs; they are of good 
size, and contain about g large Peas, which 
are sweet in flavour ; to 3 feet in height. 
From Mr. H. SAMPSON, Aughton :—“Webbs’ NewPta 
—‘ Senator ’—pleased me much ; it is an excellent variety, 
good cropper, and of prime quality; the row when in pod 
was quite a pictuie.”

f PRiNG Development. —It looks very 
much now, in spite of the fears that 
have been expressed, as if there will be no 
overdue precocity on the part of vegetation, 
and that everything will open in its proper 
season. We are now in the middle of 
March, and nothing is so exceptionally 
forward. The progress made in bud 
development has been so slow that a month 
slips by ere we note that there is much of 
change, and certainly after March is passed 
through we are ready for anything in the 
shape of bloom and leafage. If we have 
had very little of frost there has not been
