THREE GOOD EAELY those gardeners who are desirous of hearingof good early varieties of Peas, I commend totheir notice Harbinger, Ideal, and Duchess ofYork. These Peas were on trial at Chiswick inthe season of 1901, and each received an Awardof Merit when examined by the Fruit and Vege-table Committee. As seen growing at Chiswickthey were everything that could be desired in aPea in habit and cropping, and a subsequenttrial of them made last season by myself servedto strengthen the favourable opinion I then. Fig. SO.—flowers and fruits of ARUNDINARIA S1MONT. formed of them. To those unacquainted withthese three excellent varieties, Harbinger may bedescribed as being somewhat similar to Ameri-can Wonder in appearance, but is superior inbearing, in quality, and earliness. The haulmgrows 9 inches in height. It is a fine Pea forsowing at the foot of south walls, or on warm,narrow borders for the earliest crop, and as suchit will commend itself to those who have butlimited space at command. Ideal is a fine-looking Marrowfat, distinct in appearance, thehaulm being very vigorous and of a darkgreen colour. In height it grows to between2 and 3 feet, and the pods, which are long, broad,and well filled with from nine to eleven peas, aredark green in colour, and the flavour is strong point in its favour is its earliness,as it is ready for gathering several days inadvance of William 1st.
