Peas

A small sowing of Peas may be made some time during this month in favourable localities, should the weather be open and the soil in good condition, otherwise there is no gain in being early and those with small gardens had better wait until the soil is in good condition. The best kinds for sowing thus early are First Cross or Ringleader, Kentish Invicta (rather more tender than the first, and apt to rot on wet soil if sown too early - otherwise an excellent Pea), and William First. One pound will sow 20 feet of a drill 4 inches broad. Sow not closer than 5 feet between drills.

Beans

Sow a few Early Mazagan, 2 feet between drills, 3 inches in the drill. This is the hardiest Bean we have.

Cabbages

Strong plants may be put out in sheltered situations where the climate is mild but it is quite soon enough yet for most localities.

Mustard and Cress may be sown under a frame or in a box placed in a greenhouse or in the window, and will soon be fit for use.
