. CHINESE PROLIFIC PEA! 
THE GREAT FORAGE PI,AI-IT AlCD RSNOVATOR OF SOI7THBR1T LANDS!! 
’'PHIS very remarkable row Field Pea is by far the most valuable and productive variety ever introduced. It is well adapted to 
JL poor land, yielding at least three or four times as mm-h as any of the common varieties, and producing a growth of vii e almost 
bicredible. It grows in cl isters of from 12 to 20 pods, each pod contai ling 10 to i2 peas, and is of course far more eas’hj eat.hered than 
any 01 her. The vine never becomes hard, but is soft s.n>\ nutriii u from the blossom to the root. Itisgreadily eaten by stock, and 
the Peas are unsurpassed foi- ttu-. to.ble in del.cac-.y an-' ’’ichnes-. of flavor. 
We subjoin the following extract^ — tVe firstfrom Ex Governor Drew, of Arkansas, and the remainder from several well known citi* 
zens of iSouth Bend, in the same State : 
Fort Smith, Ark., December 20, 18-56. 
Dear Sir : — The evidences afforded me w-hile at your house by an examination of the quantity of ■> ine and peas gathered from on© 
and a half acres of g-ounrl, is beymid anything in tfictcay of a gr^at yield I hate tva' knoten. 
I think 1 am w ithin bounds when I say the yield, in pea and vine, is at least five times greater than any other pea — clover, or gr.a,** ffr 
bay. Ann tbe w'aste peas vvereeijual to any other full pea crop ; and from the quantity of waste vines remaining on tne ground, I think 
it will prove a tine manure aud supporre>' 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 doubtless do more in re-instating the old, worn-out lards than guano or any other application to the soil, while, at 
the same time, the yieldis likely to be a.s great on such lands as on the rich bottoms < f Arkan.-as. 
Respectfulh yourob’t. serv’t., THOS. S. DREW. 
To Robert H. Douolass, Esq. 
Dr. Goree, of Arkansas, est mated the yield in Peas or Hay at '’’Jive timfS that nf a'-y other Field P a he had ever feen plantfd." W. R. 
Lee, E*q , eay he “has n>-ver sem anything to equal it,” aud that it should “s persede the use of every otk r,” and the following certifi- 
cate semes the question of its value for Hay : 
“We, the undersigned, sa.w “that pea-vine,” and think, after the peas were gathered, that the vine w'ould have made as much hay as 
a stout man could carry ; it covered a space of tcu or twelve feet in diameter, and lay from one foot to eighteen inche- deep.”

South Bend, Ark., Sept , 1856. 
Col J. B. L. Marshall, Assistent Engineer on the LiHle Rock and Napoleon Rail Road, says ; 
“If the Southern Farmers w.ll give it a air trial, they will fi id it to he the grea est f'ea both for table use and for feeding stock, now- 
known. They fit en hog* f ister r.h.a,n anything 1 have ever tried O ' the 1 1 acres Mr. Douglass had in cultivation last year, there was 
at Li astfour tiints as muck vine as lever .onto «« a/iu piece of ur mnd of the saitie size," &c.. See.
