EDIBLE PEAS 
1 peck = 15 lbs. 
54 bushel = 30 lbs, 
1 bushel = 60 lbs. 
EDIBLE PEAS are of impor¬ 
tance to every gardener, and all 
should grow them. They not only 
make a delicious dish when green, 
but furnish dry peas for winter 
when vegetables are scarce and 
high in price; also a profitable 
crop for market. Dried peas usu¬ 
ally bring good prices and are in 
constant demand. 
Virginia Blackeye ^5” 
this has always been the most 
extensively grown of all black- 
eye peas in Virginia. One of the 
latest maturing varieties, mak¬ 
ing green peas in 75 to 80 days 
and dried peas in 95 to 100 days. 
Has proven so thoroughly de¬ 
pendable that they are gener¬ 
ally grown to produce dry peas 
for winter use. The pods are 
long and well filled and pro¬ 
duced in great abundance.

days from early planting, and 50 to 55 days late planting. Will

pods similar in appearance to Virginia 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

Early Ram’s Horn Blackeye 
NAVY BEANS 
The snowy whiteness and uniform size of a good true stock 
gives them preference over ordinary stock and puts the grower 
in a position to command a better price. Well selected stock also 
gives a better yield than the common run of Navy Beans. The last 
of June or in July plant in rows 3 feet apart, dropping 2 or 3 beans 
a foot apart in the rows. Cultivate early, but not while the dew 
is on the foliage, nor after they begin to blossom, and do not 
cultivate deeply after they are three or four inches high. 15 lbs. 
will plant an acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 22o; 5 lbs. 65c; 10 lbs.$1.15;

VELVET BEANS 
100-Day or Speckled Velvet Beans 
—Although it will not mature the pods in 
100 days, this is one of the earliest varie¬ 
ties and can be grown farther north than 
the common velvet beans. South of Vir¬ 
ginia 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,

Osceola Velvet Beans —The Osceola 
has given ex¬ 
cellent results as a forage crop in Vir¬ 
ginia, where we have found 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 advan¬ 
tage of being free from the itching furze.

Velvet Beans 
The South*s Wonderful 
Forage and SoilImprovingCrop 
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 Graz¬ 
ing —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 5-foot rows, 3 
feet apart in the row, and the beans plant¬ 
ed between the corn. At the last working, 
beans are planted again in the middles be¬ 
tween the rows of corn. When the corn is 
dry it is pulled from the stalk and cattle 
turned in to graze. 20 pounds will plant 
an acre in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart in the 
row.
