THE PRA. 
Our trial list of peas embraced seventy so called varieties. The 
first planting of sixty-eight named samples was made April 21. One 
hundred seeds of each (with a few exceptions), were planted in rows 
ten feet long and three and one-half feet apart. The seeds were planted 
two inches deep, and were placed in the row as nearly equi-distant as 
possible, which made them on the average one and two-tenths inches 
apart. ‘The soil was rolled after planting, and during the season was 
cultivated only sufficiently to keep down weeds. ‘The plants were not 
thinned, and only the taller varieties were bushed. The more import- 
ant data noted are condensed in the following table, in which the 
names of the wrinkled sorts are printed in italics. In order to avoid 
decimals we have calculated the pods per plant and the peas per Bee 
on the basis of 100.
