106—Cow Peas, Soja Beans, Rape, Ete. 
# Cow Peas 
THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1915 
Cow peas have long been grown in the South as forage crops and soil improvers. 
They will thrive where clover will not grow. They must not be sown till the soil is warm. 
W here wheat follows the oat crop, the peas can be sown after oats are harvested and will 
make a growth to turn under for wheat that will improve crop. Crop of hay will be more than 2 tons per acre. 
New Revenue 
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 excel- 
lent in the dried state, boiled or baked as navy beans, 
or used in soups. Makes a large growth of vines, 8 to 
15 feet long, and covers the entire ground to a depth 
of 2 or 3 feet with a dense growth of vines. It outyields 
any other pea we are acquainted with. In average sea- 
sons Revenue matures in 90 days. The pods are fit for 
use in 70to75 days. The peas are large and well crowded 
in the pods. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 
50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, not pre= 
paid, quart, 35 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.50. 
New Era 
Anearly maturing variety of quick, upright growth. 
The vines make a splendid dry forage, cure easily, and 
produce a heavy yield of peas. Maturing in about 60 
days, this variety is specially valuable to Northern 
growers in sections where the season is short. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 
quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 
The Clay 
This is so called from the color of the seed. The plant 
is of the same season and habit of growth as the Black, 
and like the Black has ripened at Ithaca, New York. 
Many growers in the South prefer it to the large Black 
because of the fineness of the growth, which makes it 
easier to cure. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.: quart, 
40 cts... postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 
paid, quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 
Extra Early Black Eye 
This pea is one of the earliest. It is a strong grower 
and moderate trailer. It will mature seed in about 60 
days. A valuable hay crop. In the South it is grown 
mainly for table use. AS a Soup pea it is yery popu- 
lar. Packet, 10 cts.: pint., 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts., 
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 
quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00. 
Whip-poor-will 
It is an early variety, and matures in about 70 days. 
It is not a heavy forage maker, but a very productive 
variety and largely grown as a soil improver and for 
pasturage. Trails very little and usually in bush form 
only. Packet, 10 cts.: pint, 25 cts.; quart, £40 cts., 
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 
quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.0); bushel, $3.50. 
Black 
Trails freely and makes a heavy crop of hay. It will 
get into condition in 100 days; early enough for the 
Middle States. Ripens as far north as Ithaca, N. Y. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 
postpaid. By express or. freight, not prepaid, 
quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 
The Wonderful 
With profusion of growth and foliage. First growth 
is erect, but later in the season it runs rampantly, 
making vines fully 15 feet long. As a soil improver 
no plant will equalit. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.;_ 
quart, 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 
not prepaid, quart, 25 cts.; pk., $1.00; bu., $3.50. 
The usual quantity of any of the above cow peas sown per acre, is one bushel, but on strong soil will 
result in a stout growth of stem; to produce a finer growth for hay, 144 bushels should be sown. 
Hollybrook Early Soja or Soy Bean 
Makes a quicker growth and matures its crop two to three 
weeks earlier than Mammoth Yellow Soja. An erect growing 
plant and is far more easy to harvest and cure than Cow Peas. g 
Hollybrook Early Soja is the earliest variety and succeeds in all £4 
sections of the North, while the Mammoth Yellow is of great 
value in the South. It is admirably adapted for growing in 
mountainous places, and throughout the North and West where 
the seasons are Shorter. It is a sure cropper, vigorous and quick 
growing. The crop can be harvested with the corn binder, and 
set in shocks for curing; but to make a finer hay sow broadcast, 
mow with hay mower, and cure in cocks. For this purpose sow j 
144 bushels per acre. They may also be sowed with cow peas, with i} 
great success, using a half bushel of each per acre, well mixed. § 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; 
peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50; 2 bushels, $6.75. 
Mammoth Yellow Soja or Soy Bean 
Soja Beans do equally well on both light and heavy soils, and 
make a most desirable Jand improver. The use of this crop is: 
increasing very rapidly in all sections, and is proving to be one 
of the most valuable and important forage and feed crops for 
the farmer. Itis almost impossible for weeds to grow or thrive 
where a crop of Soja Beans is grown. Another valuable point is 
they resist drought and hot weather to a remarkable extent. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, £0 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 25 cents; 
peck, 85 cents; bushel, $3.00; 2 bushels, $5.75. 
Canada Field Pea 
Is one of the very best soiling crops at the North. It is some- 
times grown alone, but the most satisfactory dairy results come 
from sowing it with oats, rye or barley. lt makes good ensilage, 
and is an admirable food either green or dry for cattle, being 
highly nutritious and rich in milk-producing elements. It is 
quite hardy and may be sown early in the spring, and will be 
ready to cut in May or June. Theseed should be sown at the rate 
of 1 to 144 bushels per acre. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents: 
quart, 35 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not pre- 
paid, quart, 20 cts.; peck, $1.00; bu., $3.50; 2 bus., $6.75. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
This is the best autumn sheep forage known, and is also used 
for pigs and dairy cows with success and profit. Under favorable 
circumstances it is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the 
time of sowing. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. The seed 
should be sown in May, for midsummer pasturage; or any time 
before the end of August (at the North) for autumn pasturage. 
In the Southern States the best sowing time is September or 
October. Rape isa plant which loves cool weather, and thrives 
best in autumn. The seed should be used at the rate of 3 pounds 
per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broadcast. Rape is an 
excellent green manure for plowing down. Packet, 10 cents; —- 
pound, 25 cents: 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. By express or = SSS SS = =
