FIELD SEED (Continued) 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Sotc 10 pounds for grain and 1 bushel per acre for forage. 
Kaffir Corn has become more valuable every year because of 
its drought resisting qualities. Grows 4 to 5 feet high, very 
stocky and leafy; valuable alike for forage and grain. Plant 
from March to August, in rows 3 feet apart, drilling seed thinly 
like sorghum. If wanted for grain, principally, let heads mature 
on the stalk and then the whole stalk may be cut for fodder after 
the seed heads have been cut. If wanted for fodder, mainly, 
cut down the stalks when the first seed heads begin to appear, 
leaving 4 to 5 inches of stubble. From this stubble will spring 
a second growth, making an excellent crop for forage and a 
fair crop of grain. Stalks keep green and juicy to the last. For 
poultry feed and small grain it is unexcelled.

CHICKEN CORN—WHITE SEEDED (Egyptian Wheat) 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
F.O.B. Plant City except pound lots which are prepaid. 
This is a sorghum with extra large, loose, bushy heads, cov¬ 
ered thickly with small grains. If left standing, the grains drop 
off in a scattering manner, and the chickens gather them. If 
grown on a large scale, the large, well filled heads can be cut 
at maturity and fed to the poultry as desired. It is best to sow 
the seed thinly in three to four foot rows, leaving two to three 
plants to every three feet of row. If planted in small batches 
it is best to plant near the chicken houses so chickens can feed 
on the seeds as they fall. White Seeded Chicken Corn, with 
ease of growth, sure crop and heavy yields, will go a long way 
towards solving the poultry feed problem. It is the cheapest 
and best chicken feed you can grow. 
1 lb. 15c; 10 lbs. $1.10; 25 lbs. $2.25; 100 lbs. $8.00. 
COWPEAS 
Sow 1 bushel per acre. 
Cowpeas may be sown any time from March to September 
broadcast or in drills 3 to 4 feet apart. From 1 to 2 bushels per 
acre are used in broadcasting and from 2 to 3 pecks for seeding 
in drills, or considerably less of the small-seeded varieties. 
Due to the unstable condition of the market, we were unable 
to make price quotations on field varieties of Cowpeas when 
this catalog went to press. Write for prices, indicating variety 
and quantity desired. 
Field Varieties of Cowpeas 
Suwannee. (New.) This new variety of cowpeas, which is a 
much better hay producer than any of the old' varieties, was 
introduced into Florida by the State Experiment Station and 
the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Besides its high yielding quali¬ 
ties, the Suwannee holds its foliage long and continues growth 
after other varieties have lost their leaves. This makes it possi¬ 
ble to postpone hay-making during wet weather, or at times of 
emergencies. The variety ranks with Iron and Brabham in re¬ 
sistance to root knot. The Suwannee will find a valuable place 
in cowpea forage production of the South. 
Iron. This variety is one of the most valuable Cowpeas in cul¬ 
tivation on account of its disease-resisting qualities. It is en¬ 
tirely immune from wilt and root-knot. Medium early, will stand 
more wet weather than most other varieties, and is a very heavy 
viner. Like Brabham, it is of erect growth, vigorous, prolific and 
holds its leaves better than other varieties. 
Brabham. The Brabham Cowpea is absolutely immune from 
wilt and root-knot which attack some other varieties, makes 
fine, vigorous growth of vines, is early, and, where planted in 
March, April, or May, two good cuttings of hay can be made. 
Whippoorwill. Very early, prolific, makes good growth of 
vines, and is a good variety for general purposes. 
Mixed. The advantage claimed for sowing Mixed Cowpeas is 
that they produce an exceedingly heavy growth of vines for 
forage or soil improvement. 
Suwannee Cowpeas 
A New Variety Noted for Its High Production of Hay 
Table Varieties of Cowpeas 
Extra Early Ramshorn Blackeye Peas. (New.) This is the 
earliest maturing large Blackeye pea. Matures sweet tender 
peas two months after planting and continues to bear if green 
peas are kept picked. The prolific heavy yield, along with at¬ 
tractive appearance of the large mature peas, extreme earliness, 
and good keeping qualities make it a most popular Blackeye 
pea for southern trucking. The delicious flavor and large long 
pods which are easily shelled make it very popular with home 
gardeners. The vine produces large leaves with a very vigorous 
growth.
