Early Ram’s Horn Black Eye 
Extra Early Black Eye Sometimes called Six Weeks Peas — 
J J The earliest of all black eye peas, be¬ 
ing ready for the table in about 65 to 70 days after planting. It is 
a prolific bearer of well-filled pods; similar in appearance to Vir¬ 
ginia Black Eye, but distinctly earlier. The home gardener 
should grow them for an extra early supply of sweet, tender 
peas; the market gardener to get the benefit of the uniformly 
high price paid for the first black eye peas on the market. By

—A lthough called Early 
Ram’s Horn, we class it as 
medium early, being ready in about 80 days. It makes a large 
leafy growth and is prolific, with well-filled pods. Its popu¬ 
larity is largely due to the attractive appearance of the ma¬ 
tured peas and its extra good yielding quality. By mail post¬

C' n;„ „ —The peas are the smallest, but the sweet-

Virginia Rlnr'lr Fvp —For the main crop this has always 
y ii guuc* uittva been the most extensively grown of 
all black eye peas. Although the latest variety, requiring about 
100 to 110 days, it has proved so thoroughly dependable that 
they are very generally grown to produce dry peas for win¬ 
ter use. The pods are long and well filled and are produced 
in great abundance. By mail postpaid, quart 30c; y 2 peck 75c;

Drown sugar urowaer of large size and becoming exceed¬ 
ingly popular throughout the South. Very prolific, yielding from 
10 to 12 bushels of dried peas per acre. Make a vigorous plant, 
producing from 10,000 to 15,000 pounds of green fodder per acre 
that is greatly relished by live stock. By mail postpaid, qt. 40c;

Growing Virginia Black Eye Peas for Seed or Dried Peas 
The general practice is to plant as late as possible so as to ma¬ 
ture dried peas just before frost. It requires about 100 days to 
mature Virginia Blackeye Peas on light land, whereas on stiff 
land it takes slightly long'er. Some peas, however, Will be ready 
for home use in 75 days. Generally speaking, the proper time is 
to plant between June 15th and July 10th, although the last week 
in June and first week in July is the best time, as planted at this 
time they usually miss the bad spell of weather in the late fall. 
Plant with a corn planter in three-foot rows, 18 to 24 inches apart, 
and cultivate. When the crop is ready for harvest, cut with mower 
in the morning and rake up and thresh in the afternoon. This will 
prevent the usual shattering which occurs when peas are handled 
in the middle of day. Virginia Blackeye Peas generally yield from 
12 to 15 bushels per acre, and in good seasons as high as 20 bushels. 
Plant at the rate of 12 pounds per acre. 
VELVET BEANS 
The South’s Wonderful Forage and Soil Improving Crop 
1 i 1 
A PINE FALL AND WINTER GRAZING CROP 
Velvet beans make an enormous growth, larger than any other 
known forage plant. As a soil improver they are considered su¬ 
perior to cowpeas, making much larger growth and foliage. 
Makes Nutritious Pall and Winter Grazing. —In the South, velvet 
beans are used very largely for winter grazing. They should be 
allowed to grow until killed by frost, after which they can be 
grazed through the winter, as the vines, leaves and pods decay 
very slowly and remain palatable a long time. 
Velvet beans are usually grown with corn. The corn is planted 
in five-foot rows, three feet apart in the row, 
and the beans planted between the corn. At 
the last working beans are planted again in 
the middles between the rows of corn. When 
the corn is dry, it is pulled from the stalk 
and cattle turned in to graze. 20 lbs. will 
plant an acre in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart in the row.

Velvet Beans in Corn 
100 Day or Speckled Velvet Beans 
-—The Osceola has given ex- 
Osceola Velvet Beans cellent results as a forage 
t vi » v* ^ v l *' crop in Virginia, where we 
have fround it to make fully as much growth of vine as the Early 
Speckled or 100-Day, with pods larger and farther advanced in 
the same length of time. It also has the advantage of being free 
from the itching furze. By mail postpaid, qt. 30c; y 2 peck 70c;

Although it will not mature the pods in one hundred days, this 
is one of the earliest varieties and can be grown farther North 
than the common velvet beans. South of Virginia they will 
mature in a season of average length. In more northerly sec¬ 
tions, where the seeds will not mature, it will make a wonderful 
growth of vines for pasturing and finishing cattle, and a fine soil- 
improver. By mail postpaid, qt. 30c; y 2 peck 65c; peck $1.05; y 2
