Chinese Prolific Pea! 



The Great Forage Plant and Renovator of 

 Southern lands!! 



This very remarkable new Field Pea is by far the 

 most valuable and productive variety ever introduced. 

 It is well adapted to poor land, yielding at least three 

 or four times as much as any of the common varieties, 

 and producing a growth of vine almost incredible. — 

 It grows in clusters of from 12 to 20 pods, each pod 

 containing 10 to 12 peas, and is of course far more 

 easily gathered than any other. The vine never be- 

 comes haid, but is soft and nutritious from the blos- 

 som to the root. It is greedily eaten by stock, and 

 the Peas are unsurpassed for the table in delicacy and 

 richness of flavor. 



We subjoin the following extracts — the first from 

 Ex-Governor Drew, of Arkansas, and the remainder 

 from several well known citizens of South Bend, in 

 the same State : 



Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. 20, 1856. 

 Dear Sir — The evidences afforded me while at your 

 house by an examination of the quantity of vine and 

 peas gathered from one and a half acres of ground, 

 is beyond anything in the way of a great yield I have 

 ever known. 



I think I am within bounds when I say the yield, 

 in pea and vine, is at least five times greater than any 

 other pea — clover, or grass for hay. And the waste 

 peas were equal to any other full pea crop; and from 

 the quantity of waste vines remaining on the ground, 

 I think it will prove a fine 'manure and supporter of 

 the soil. 



Your son. Mr. Wm. F. Douglass, has done well in 

 making arrangements for the extended culture of this 

 invaluable pea in the older States, where it will doubt- 

 less do more m reinstating the old worn-out lands 

 than guano or any other application to the soil, while 

 at the same time, the yield is likely to be as great on 

 such lands as on the rich bottoms of Arkansas. 



Respectfully your obedient servant. 



THOS. S. DREW. 



To Robert II. Douglass, Esq. 



Dr. Goree, of Arkansas, estimated the yield in Peas 

 or Hay at " five times that of any other Field pea he had 

 ever seen planted." W. R. Lee, Esq., says he "has 

 never seen anything to equal it," and that it should 

 " supersede the use of every other," and the following 

 certificate settles the question of its vnlue for Hay : 



•'We the undersigned, saw ' that pea-vine,' and 

 think, after the peas were gathered, that the vine 

 would have made as much hay as a stout man could 

 carry ; it covered a space of ten or twelve fetet in di- 

 ameter, and lay from one foot to eighteen inches deep. 



"WM. C. MEEKS. 

 "B. W. LEE." 



" South Bend, Ark., Sept. 1856." 



Col. J. B. L. Marshall, assistant engineer on the 

 Little Rock and Napoleon Railroad, says : 



' If the Southern Farmers will give it a fair trial, 

 they will find it to be the greatest Pea both for table 

 use and for feeding stock, now known. They fatten 

 hogs faster than anything I have ever tried. On the 

 one and a half acres Mr. Douglass had in cultivation 

 last year, there was at least four times as much vine 

 as I ever saw en any piece of ground of the same 

 size," &c. &e. 

 , For further particulars, see Circulars furnished gra- 

 tis by the Agents.
