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 1 purchased, at a big figure, his entire stock. 



The originator says : "The new pea is all 1 claim it to be. I do not offer it as a fleld 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. 



"I have had ten years' experience in testing and crossing the different types of cow peas, and I know this to 

 betlie most valuable all-round pea ever offered. It is early, productive and an extremely rank grower. The 

 green pods are splendid as soup 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 ,i}^ by i feet the new pea has made vines 8 to 15 ft. long, and covered the entire 

 ground to a depth of 2 or i! ft. with a dense growth of vines. It outyieids 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 Warren's, but is by far the earliest of al^ the lieavy growing sorts. It will yield more peas than any sort I 

 thave 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, 8 oi 4 feet 

 apart each way, will produce enough peas for an average famib

NEW GOLDEN 



CARMINE 

 POLE BEAN. 



A wonderfully robust grower. 

 The pods are stringless, niottled 

 and streaked with an unusually 

 bright carmine color on the 

 bright golden, which gives them 

 I a strikingly beautiful appear- 

 ance. Seed direct from the orig- 

 inator. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 

 BO cents; quart, 50 cents. 



Panmure Extra 



(Early Lima Bean 



This pole lima bean is from 

 California, which State has, of 

 recent years, become kuowu as 

 the greatest lima bean distiict 

 |i In the world. It represents the 

 k careful selection for many years 

 of one of the best growers of 

 Uma beans I know of. By select- 

 ing the earliest pods year after 

 year he has secured a bean that 

 la positively two weeks earlier 

 than any other. Beans are as 

 I large as the ordinary large lima, 

 f 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 sa.v my supply is still so lim- 

 ited that I can offer It only In 

 small quantities. 

 Packet, 15 cents; pint, 50 cents. 



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 whicii will 

 be found an enormous crop of 

 magnificent, straight, golden- 

 yellow pods. I list it with every 

 confidence It will please my 

 customers. Packet, 10 cents; 

 pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents,
