WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Vegetable Seed Novelties—31 
New Revenue Cow Pea. 
Recently an Illinois nurseryman offered me a limited amount of seed of what he claimed to be a new cow pea for table use, and after looking 
carefully into the matter | purchased, at a big figure, his entire stock. 
The originator says: ‘The new peais allI claim it to be. I do not offer it as a field pea but as a garden pea. It should be introduced as a 
table vegetable. The table varieties of the cow pea are almost unknown out of the South, but are a staple article of food there. Such sorts as 
Black Eye, Lady and Rice are extensively grown for table use. Revenue lays all these sorts in the shade. 
“T have had ten years’ experience in testing and crossing the different types of cow peas, and I know this to 
be the most valuable all-round pea ever offered. It is early, productive and an extremely rank grower. The 
green pods are splendid as snap beans, delicious hulled and used while green as lima beans, and excellent in 
the dried state, boiled or baked as navy beans, or used in soups. Makes as large a growth of vines as the 
Wonderful. Planted in rows 3% by 4 feet the new pea has made vines 8 to 15 ft. long, and covered the entire 
ground to a depth of 2 or 3 ft. with a dense growth of vines. It outyields any other pea I am acquainted with. 
In average seasons Revenue matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for use in 70 to 75 days. It is not quite so early 
as Black Eye, but is by far the earliest of all the heavy growing sorts. It will yield more peas than any sort I 
have tested. The peas are large and well crowded in the pods. 
“So productive is this pea that a small packet, planted two peas in a hill, 3 or 4 feet 
apart each way, will produce enough peas for an average family.”

Panmure Extra 
Early Lima Bean 
This pole lima bean is from 
California, which State has, of 
recent years, become known as 
the greatest lima bean district 
in the world. It represents the 
careful selection for many years 
of one of the best growers of 
lima beans I know of. By select- 
ing the earliest pods year after 
year he has secured a bean that 
is positively two weeks earlier 
than any other. Beans are as 
large as the ordinary large lima, 
pods containing five and six 
beans. It comes in bearing early 
in July and bears right up to 
frost. It is so good that I have 
decided to put the name of my 
New Jersey trial grounds to it. 
At Panmure, tested alongside of 
thirty other varieties, it proved 
one to two weeks earlier than 
the earliest of them. I regret 
to Say my supply is still so lim- 
ited that I can offer it only in 
small quantities. 
Pkt, 15c.; pt., 40c.; qt., 75c. 
Pencil Pod 
Black Wax Bean 
This new bush bean is most 
enthusiastically praised by all 
who have grown it. Its beautiful 
yellow, straight pods are from 
5 to 7 inches long, well rounded, 
meaty and deeply saddle-backed. 
They are always solid, brittle 
and entirely stringless. The 
plants grow about 15 inches high, 
with an abundance of large, 
heavy foliage, under which will 
be found an enormous crop of 
magnificent, straight, golden- 
yellow pods. I list it with every 
confidence it will please mv 
customers. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 
25 cts.; qt., 40 cts., postpaid.
