The course prescribed by your correspondent in the March number, for starting peas early, is certainly a good one, and worthy of the adoption of every lover of so rich and healthful a vegetable. We have tried another plan to effect the same results, which, although it may be no better, we have no hesitancy in commending to at least a trial. In the first place we dig a trench where we design to plant our peas, to a depth of, say six inches. This we fill two-thirds full of recent horse manure, and make it as compact as possible, which will leave a space of three or four inches between it and the surface. Over the manure, put an inch and a half of the garden earth, and sow the peas. We then take two straight-edged boards and nail them together in the form of a V. This it laid, inverted, over the peas, when it is cold enough to freeze the ground, and taken off in mild pleasant weather. They may be protected in this way until they are high enough to bush, and enjoy all the advantages of rain and sunshine where they are to grow.

If the storm is heavy, they may also be protected from it, by replacing their cover- . ing.

As the spring advances, the hot and dry nature of the manure might, under ordinary circumstances, be injurious to the plants; but this we provide against. When our peas come up, they are an inch perhaps below the surface, and the earth taken from the trench, is tome of it yet remaining to supply the deficiency. So when the peas are high enough, and the weather growing milder, we replace the earth until the trench is level with or higher than the adjoining surface. This gives strength and firmness to the plants, utterly destroys all weeds which may be starting from the manure, and prevents the heat and dryness of the soil which is incident to placing hot and fermenting manures near the surface. We speak of this method which we have found in our case to be a very good one, and leave for others to adopt or reject as they choose. Yours truly, Wm. Bacon. -------Raising: Grapes in Pots. - If you will write an article for the Horticulturist, describing in detail the best method of raising grapes in large pots, (say of the size of 16 inches high by 14 inches diameter across the top,) under glass, and without fire heat, naming just what the soil should be. the watering, etc.- how much, if any, liquid manure had better be used for them, be.- also how productive they can be made under proper culture, etc.- also as to the expediency of having a house on purpose for grapes in pots, and the kind of house for them if expedient - I name these details that you may see what points information is needed upon - if you will do this, you will much oblige an original subscriber in New England.

[Will some of our most experienced grape growers comply with the above request? We have already published two or three articles on that subject. Ed.]
