PHA. — A popular, new variety now 
widely planted both North and South. 
It will make two crops at the South. Re- 
markable as a soil enricher. Some grow-

under with the plow, while others pick 
the peas for seed and then turn the 
vines under. A nutritious forage plant. 
Sow at rate of 1 to 14% bushels per acre. 
Warren’s is a great improvement over 
former sorts. The pods are very long, 
containing 14 to 18 peas each. See illus- 
tration. A prolific bearer, and making 
more vine than common sorts. Prof. 
Massey, of North Carolina, endorses this 
great field pea. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.;
