Cow Peas 



Peas could he made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than is now purchased annually by the farmers at the cost of millions of 

 dollars. — Yearbook of Ihe U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



The great soil improvers. Makes poor land rich. Makes good land more 



productive. Also makes a splendid and nutritious green forage or 



hay crop, enriching the soil even when the crop is cut off 



1175. Mixed Cow Peas. We strongly recommend sowing Mixed Cow Peas as 

 a soil improving crop. The upright growing varieties holding up the vining varieties, 

 they will make a much better growth and give more satisfactory results, yielding better 

 crops of vines and more forage. They are composed of the Blacks, Black Kye, Clays, 

 Whip-poor-wills, Wonderful, New Era and Soja Beans. If once tried you will sow no 

 others where large crops are desired. Bu. $2.85. 10 Bu. at $2.75. Please write us 

 for latest prices. 



11-59. New Era. This new extra early Cow Pea is unquestionably one of the 

 most valuable varieties in cultivation. It is quicker in growth than any other Cow Pea 

 in cultivation; makes a very large growth of vine and very prolilic yield of Peas. The 

 vines stand upright, enabling the Peas to be easily gathered. The Peas are fully one- 

 third smaller in si/ie than any other Cow Pea, so that it does not require nearly as many 

 loseed an acre. Bu. $2.85. 10 Bu. at $2,73. Please write us for latest prices.

Canada Field Peas 



1165. Here is a crop which is not only profitable, but will return to the 

 land the much needed nitrogen. Peas are second only to Clover in their soil 

 enriching properties and can be grown under almost any condition of soil or 

 climate. There is always a ready market for Peas, or they can be profitably 

 ground and fed to the stock. The vines make rich, nutritious hay. If fed 

 to milch cows, when in a green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk vfiU 

 be almost doubled. 



Peas are a paying crop, and can be profitably planted in many ways. 



First. When sown alone about three bushels are required to the acre. 

 They can be matured and threshed when dry. The yield will vary from 30 

 to 60 bushels an acre. 



Second. Peas and Oats are frequently sown together, using Hi bushels of 

 Peas and 2 bushels of Oats an acre. By so doing a double crop can be secured. 

 They can be threshed at one time and readily separated in cleaning. 



Third. They can be sown alone or with Oats and fed green. It is surprising 

 the amount of fodder which is produced in this way. If sown together, the Peas 

 should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep, the Oats may 

 then be drilled in. 



Fourth. For plowing under when Peas and Oats are sown together and 

 each are "in milk" they are nearly equal in value to Clover, used in the same 

 way to enrich I he soil. Sown in January, February or early March. Pk. $1.00. 

 Bu. $3.50. Write for prices.

Seed Oats 



Burt or 90-Day Oats 



1156. Burt or 90- Day Oats. The earliest, most prolific and surest cropping of Spring 

 Oats; far superior to an ordinary Spring or rust-proof Oats for Spring seeding. Wherever this 

 Oat is grown it comes into great favor. For a Spring Oat for seeding in March and April it is 

 the best and surest of Spring Oats. It is earlier to mature, free from rust, healthy, clean and 

 vigorous growth of straw, and makes a very good yield of clean, bright and heavy grain. On 

 account of its earliness to mature, it escapes the dry hot weather we frequently experience in 

 June, and is on this account one of the surest cropping varieties of the South. Color and 

 appearanceof grainsomewhatresemble therust-proof Oat. Pk.40c. Bu. $1.00. Pleasewrite 

 us for latest prices. 



1161. Virginia Gray Winter or Turf Oats. When sown early, before the Middle of 

 March, tliese Oats will far outyield the ordinary Spring Oats, making a larger crop) and heavier 

 grain. For seed purposes, too, it is most desirable to sow Winter Oats in the Spring, as they 

 make a better and cleaner seed Oats for sowing in the Fall than if continual seedings are made 

 from the Fall-grown Oats. Further North than Virginia remarkable results have been ob- 

 tained from these Oats, when sown even as late as the first of May, and from the reports of our 

 customers, we strongly recommend these Oats to our Northern and Western farmers, as we 

 believe that they will give much larger and better yielding crops than the Spring Oat.s usually 

 sown in the Northern and Western States. Sow at the rate of H4 to 2 bushels per acre. Pk. 

 40c. Bu. $1.00. Please write us for prices on large lots. 



1191. Red Rust-Proof Oats. These Oats are very popular throughout the South, 

 especially on the light, sandy soils of the coast region. They are also preferred for low grounds 

 or in situations where other oats are much inclined to rust. Pk. 40c. Bu. $1.00. Prices 

 fluctuate. 



1157. White Spring Oats. This is the variety most generally sown throughout the 

 North and West, and is also so largely grown in this section, although the newest varieties 

 offered by us are decidedly preferable, both as to yield and reliability of cropping. Price of 

 our Gold Brand (heaviest and cleanest quality), Pk. 25c. 85c per Bu. Please write us for 

 market prices. 



1272. Appier Oats. The Appier Oat is equally adapted for sowing both in the Spring 

 and in the Fall, but when sown in the Spring should be sown before the middle of March. It is 

 a strong, quick growing Oat, bunchy head and heavy grain. One of the best and most reliable 

 Rust-Proof Oats for the South. Pk. 40c. Bu. $1.00. Please write for market prices. 



1273. Bancroft Oats. An improved strain of Rust-Proof Oats. One of the best, largest
