BLACK EYE and Other EDIBLE PEAS 
While sometimes used for forage and soil improvement, Black 
Eye Peas are also used for the table, and usually bring good 
prices, both in the green and dry state. 
Extra Early. (65 days). The earliest of all Black Eye Peas, 
and while the seed is small, the Peas are tender, sweet and 
well-flavored. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.55, 
postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities.) 
Ramshorn. (75 days). This is a favorite Black Eye Pea com¬ 
ing in just after the Extra Early, and is very popular with 
small market gardeners, as it nearly always commands a good 
price in the green state. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 
lbs., $1.55, postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities.) 
Jumbo. (80 days). A late variety of Black Eye Peas that is 
very prolific and probably the largest. It sells readily as a 
dry Pea on account of its size, and usually brings the highest 
market price. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.55, 
postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities.) 
Brown Susar, Crowder. (65 days). An early prolific variety 
preferred by many as the best table sort. The Peas are gen¬ 
erally of good size and delicious flavor. Also good for forage 
crop and improving the soil. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c; 5 lbs., 90c; 
10 lbs., $1.55, postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities). 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
60 lbs. to the bushel. 
These are very valuable for stock feeding, and are being more 
largely used each season. They are planted at the rate of two 
bushels to the acre broadcast, being usually sown with oats, a 
combination which is extremely satisfactory. A bushel and a 
half of each to the acre is sufficient, the Peas, of course, being 
plowed in to the usual depth and the oats put in afterwards 
with a harrow. Sowings may be made as early as February in 
ordinary years, and it is usually safe to put them in at any time 
up to the middle of March. They make a quick growth and pro¬ 
duce an immense amount of the best forage at a time when feed 
is apt to be particularly scarce. When grown with oats they are 
very easily cured, and all kinds of stock are fond of the hay, 
the nutritive value of which is remarkably high. Pk., $1.45; 
bu., $4.50. (Write for prices on larger quantities). 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. This mammoth variety is a great im¬ 
provement on the native Sunflower and it is adapted to almost 
any soil and situation, and there are few farms that could 
not spare some field for it which would otherwise lie unused. 
The flower heads frequently measure a foot and a half across, 
and are packed at maturity with large plump seeds marked 
with black and white. Poultry are extremely fond of the 
seed, and when thus fed fatten more rapidly, perhaps, than 
on any other food. Plant one inch deep in rows three or four 
feet apart, leaving 18 inches between the hills, and cultivate 
the same as corn. When the seeds are hard, cut off the 
heads and pile them loosely in a well-ventilated place to cure; 
they may then be easily threshed out and cleaned. For an 
acre six pounds. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.45, postpaid.

Winter or Hairy Vetch 
Rape 
RAPE, DWARF ESSEX 
An excellent forage plant for poultry and all kinds of stock, especially 
sheep and hogs. Grows with wonderful rapid.ty, being usually ready for 
pasturage in 6 or 8 weeks, and will thrive in almost any soil. Do not 
turn stock into a Rape pasture when vary hungry or when the Rape is 
wet, as it may cause bloating. The stock should have access at all tima 
to plenty of salt. When young. Rape makes a delicious tender sweet 
salad, and is often sown solely for this purpose. Sow inch deep from 
early summer until late fall, either in rows or broadcast. When sown 
broadcast, it requires 6 to 8 lbs. ; in 3-ft. rows, 3 lbs. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
70c; 10 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. (Write for prices in larger quantities.) 
TOBACCO 
Tait’s Tobacco Seed is treated as recommended by the Virginia Agri¬ 
cultural Experiment Station. 
Culture: 1 oz. of Tobacco will sow 60 sq. yds., and produce approxi¬ 
mately 10,000 plants. In making the seed bed, select a fertile place of 
ground, which should be burned over to destroy grass, weeds, insects, etc. 
The seed should be broadcast over the surface in February, and should be 
protected by plant bed cloth to keep off tobacco flies. The plants should 
be set out when large enough (about June 1st) in rows 3% ft. wide, leav¬ 
ing 3 ft. between the plants. Constant car? must be given to cultivation, 
suckering and keeping the plants free of worms. 
GOIiS DOIiXiAH. This variety is adapted to a wide range of soil, but 
does best on sandy soil. The growth is rather tall, with wide leaves of 
good length. It is of the priming type, and produces a high grade 
smoking leaf. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c: % lb., $1.50: lb., $5.00, postpaid. 
GOIiD IiEAF. A disease-resistant bright tobacco combining good weight 
and color. The leaves are tapering, well spaced on the stalk, and of 
good quality. Cures into a good bright tobacco for either cutters or 
wrappers. Pkt., 10c: oz., 50c: % lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00, postpaid. 
BONANZA. An improved strain of Hickory Pryor, and on the sandy 
soils of the eastern bright belt, makes the highest class bright leaf. 
Pkt., 10c: oz., 50c: % lb., $1.50; Ib., $5.00, postpaid. 
WARNS. One of the best bright tobaccos. The leaf is long, of silky 
quality, good breadth, and well spaced on the stalk. Easily cures to a 
bright color, and is of good quality and weight. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c: 
% lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00, postpaid. 
VETCH, WINTER or HAIRY 
After the most thorough tests, the best informed farmers now consider 
Vicia villosa (Winter Vetch) one of the most valuable forage plants 
within the reach of southern farmers. Good authorities claim that it will 
yield from six to ten tons of green food to the acre, and its nutritive 
value has been determined to be mucb greater than clover. It makes 
good and easily-cured hay, and is perfectly hardy, thriving on poor, 
arid, sandy soils, while on rich soil it makes a growth of five or more 
feet. Any kind of grain may be sown with it, to support the vines, but 
rye or oats will be found more satisfactory, and we think particularly 
good results will be obtained from 30 pounds of Vetch with one bushel 
of Oats, sown in September or early October. It is available for use a 
remarkably long time, as it is green through the winter and remains 
in condition until the middle of July, all stock eating it with the greatest 
relish. May be cut very early in spring, thus releasing ground for other 
early crop. For an acre, 60 lbs. Write for prices.
