The best all round Pea in cultivation. GARDEN PEAS. All carefully selected and Hand-picked. Pints can also be supplied of all the Varieties in List. CULTURE ■ — The earliest varieties may be sown about the second or third week in November, or first week in December, another sowing in January, 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 wonderfully) ; when about 5 or 6 inches above ground, thin out if required, and properly stick. By sowing seeds of some of the early kinds in July, a late picking of Peas may be had until the frost sets in. The general height is here given of the various kinds of Peas, but, of course, the season and richness of the soil will cause a difference. Our “ One and Only Wash ” is a complete eradicator of Mildew wherever it touches. SECTION I. ; or EARLIEST VARIETIES. Scimitar Tom Thumb. — This variety Per packet. Is. Height in feet.

The first season they will only produce a partial crop ; but as it is a perennial, after being once planted, the beds continue to bear for several years. So as to secure fine heads they require good treatment; the soil should be rich, deep, and moist, and protected in winter by placing straw bracSen, or other dry material closely round the stems. It is advisable to cut the plants down after the heads are taken. Per oz. — s. d.

CULTURE .—There is no vegetable more delicious. Choose the highest and lightest ground in the kitchen garden, and stake out in September as per diagram, dig out to a foot deep, lay it on each side in the pathway, then wheel in 3 inches of good manure, fork this in about another foot, and if dug over deeply two or three times so much the better ; on the top of this place a fair coating of rich soil and soot, and over this 3 inches of soil from out of the alley, then place one plant to every 9 inches, spreading the roots well out, covering them over with the finest soil, free from stones. For the top covering have 6 inches of light friable or even sandy soil. The first year make one cutting only, if the plants are three years old, the following winter add more fine soil, so that there is something like 9 inches of earth above the crown of the plants. Asparagus beds made in this way with a good coating of manure and a fair amount of salt and soot every other year cannot fail to give abundance of this succulent vegetable until the peas make their appearance.

Preference should be given to the drills, as the crop can then more easily be kept clean. As soon as the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin out to 2 or 3 inches apart at the first thinning ; after a few weeks give a final thinning to 6 or 8 inches distance, and the crop allowed to remain till it has perfected its growth in Autumn. It will be found an advantage to mix the seed with a certain amount of soil so that it can be more evenly distributed.

CULTURE. — The ground should be double dug in October or early in November. The ground can then be left in its rough state nnlil early in January, when a good dressing of soot may be spread over the surface, which is not only a preventive for the maggot, but a valuable stimulant for the Onion throughout its different stages of growth. Nothing more should be done until the end of February or March, when (weather permitting) the beds should be pointed over, well raked, and rolled or trodden down firm, and the seed drilled in rows 1 foot apart, which leaves ample room for a draw hoe, which cannot well be used too often if care be exercised to avoid any injuiy to the tops. As soon m the Onions aw up and well established thin out to 9 inches apart, and during an early stage of their growth a liberal top-dressing of spent mushroom bed manu^ would b« beneficial in keeping the ground moist and cool in hot, dry seasons, and saving a considerable labour in watering. When they are in full growth a dressing of our “ Real Manure,” 2 ounces to the yard, will do wonders for them, especially if well watered in, should the weather be Soot som broadcast in showery weather will help to keep down the mildew and also encourage growth. For what are termed Mpoli or Winter Onions, sow eaily in August and transplant the following Spring. Onions may be grown on the same piece of land for years if good tillage is kept up eveiy season. Bj sowing the Tripoli or Autumn Onions early in August, and transplanting the seedlings in due course, followed with a sowing, weather permitting, of Early Eight Weeks in February, and then again with the Spring varieties, it is possible by this method to have Onions throughout the year.

A layer of^ dry leaves or litter should be spread over the bottom, and afterwards a snfHcient quantity of ordinary good soil, wherein a small portion of leaf soil and spent manure has been mixed, to refill it. The plants being hardened off, should receive at the time of planting a good watering, and be shaded and protected as long as neceMary. Planted in this manner they make firmer and shorter jointed growth, are more prolific, less water required, and are not so liable to go off when in full bearing, as often happens under a more forcing treatment- They can also be grown wiih ruccess outdoors by putting in a few seeds the first week in May, where they are to remain. p ^ C&nnslls’ Crea.m — Splendid for exhibition Sd.^and 0 6 CtinnellS Early Prolific — a heavy cropping kind, setting its fruit quicker than some varieties 34 and 0 6 Improved Custard — Ornamental as well as useful 0 6 Large Green and Gold — Best for eating 3d. and O 6 Large White —Large size, handsome shape, splendid flavour; one of the best 3d. and 0 6 Pen-y-byd — A distinct variety of great merit ; fruit almost globular in shape ; creamy white ; firm flesh, of fine quality and delicate flavour; one of the finest 3d. and 0 6 Cannells’ White Beauty — a most useful variety, producing medium-sized oval-shaped fruit of a creamy white in great abundance, of good quality ; a free setter ...fid. and 1 0 Green Bush, or Cluster 3d. and o « Mixed Varieties o s TOBACCO.

Half-hardy Annuals— Sow from the beginning of March to the end of May ; place in a frame on a gentle bottom heat. When sowing from the middle of April to the end of May they may be easily raised without artificial heat, and by selecting a warm, sheltered situation, and covering them with a hand-light till they are strong enough to bear transplanting, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS — The most select and tender varieties for Summer and Autumn blooming maybe sown in a gentle heat in March and April, and pricked out into pots until fully established, and then potted off singly, or transplanted into the open ground, as required. The hardier varieties may be sown in the open ground, in prepared beds, in June and July, and when strong enough, transplanted to where they are intended to bloom the following year.

AWARDED SEVERAL SILVER AND SILVER-GILT FLORAL MEDALS BY THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.-Sow Aster Seed iu February and March in pots, or on a spent hot-bed in drills, 4 inches apart. Boon after the plants arc up prick out into a cold frame, or under hand-glasses, 3 to 4 inches apart, from whence they can bo planted out when 4 inches high, Select showery weather for planting, when the ground is in good working order ; plant out in rows 1 foot apart each way. To grow Asters to per- fection a rich deep soil is indispensable, and during dry weather they should be watered, and a top dressing of well-rotten manure applied early in August. Be very particular that they are always tho- roughly free from insects when they ore planted out, otherwise the leaves will become curled, and vigour and protectioip. lost for the season. If required for exhi- bition the buds should be thinned, and the plants well watered with liquid manure. During the last fortnight cover with glass. .VSTEU— COMKT, Illl’KOVED GIANT WHITE.

We devote much time and attention to the cultivation and selection of this indispensable and sweetest of all flowers. They are of easy cultivation and thrive almost anywhere, and if sown early ensures still greater success and certainty. So as to obtain the largest and finest blossoms a trench should be opened about 1 foot deep, and put in 3 inches of well-rotted m auure, followed with 4 inches of soil, and well incorporate or mix, then proceed to sow the seeds over this, 3 inches apart along the row, and covering with earth to the depth of an inch. This should be done as early as the ground can be conveniently prepared in the spring, and as the young plants grow, fill up the trench around them with good soil. 1092. 1093. 1094. 1095. 1096.
