EDIBLE PEAS 
They should be in every g'arden 
They not only make a delicious dish when 
g-i-een, hut furnish dry peas for winter when vege¬ 
tables are scarce and high in price; also a profita¬ 
ble crop for market. Dried peas usually bring 
good prices and are in constant demand. Plant 
after the ground gets warm 2 inches deep, 1 lb. 
to 200 feet. 
Wood’s Sumptuous Conch Peas 
— We 
believe 
you will agree with us that they are the best 
flavored of all edible peas. Upright vines of 
about 2 feet high, and bear a generous crop of 
well-fllled pods, 8 to 9 inches long. Make green 
peas in about G8 days; dry peas in 80 days. 
Rice or Ladv Peas —Has a few equals as a 
•' dry pea, besides are de¬ 
liciously flavored and splendidly suited for 
soup. The smallest of all the edible peas; pro¬ 
lific bearer and may be used either green or dry. 
Virginia Blackeye —the main crop this 
^ '' has always been the most 
extensively grown of all blackeye peas in Vir¬ 
ginia. One of the latest maturing varieties, 
making green peas in 76 to 80 days and dried 
peas in 95 to 100 days. Has proven so thor¬ 
oughly dependable that they are generally 
grown to produce dry peas for winter use. The 
pods are long and well filled and produced in 
great abundance. 
WOOD’S EARLY WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS, showing the large number 
of long, well filled pods. It produced 3,500 lbs. per acre of dried peas to 500 lbs. for 
ordinary blackeyes on wilt-infested land. 
Extra Farlv —The earliest of all blackeye peas. Will 
Lxira Rany OiaCKeye p^o^y^e green peas for market in sixty 
days from early planting, and 50 to 55 days late planting. Will 
mature dry peas in 70 days. It is a prolific bearer of well-filled 
pods similar in appearance to Virginia Blackeye, 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 blackeye 
peas on the market. 
Ramshorn Blackeye —Makes green peas in about 68 days; 
dry peas in 80 days. iNIakes a large leafy 
growth and is prolific, with well-fllled pods. Its popularity is 
largely due to the attractive appearance of the matured peas 
and its extra good yielding quality. 
Brown Sugar or Cream Crowder 
® 85 to 90 days and dried 
peas in 100 to 110 days. One of our best flavored table peas, of 
large size and exceedingly popular throughout the South. Very 
prolific, yielding from 10 to 12 bushels of dried peas per acre. 
Blue Goose, Gray Crowder or Taylor— 
’ •' er and fine flavored 
pea. producing green peas in 70 days and dry peas in 80 to 86 
days. A large speckled pea with long pods., and largest yielder 
of all the Crowder types. 
NAVy BEANS 
-Should be planted by every 
farmer for dried beans for 
soup or baked beans all win¬ 
ter. Nothing tastes better in 
cold weather. Plant in June or July, 2 or 3 beans in hills a foot 
apart, in 3-foot rows; 1 lb. to 200 feet; 15 lbs. per acre. Cultivate 
early, before they blossom, but not deeply, nor while wet with 
dew. Our stock is specially selected pure seed, snowy white and 
uniform large size. It produces a better yield that sells for a 
jiremium over crops grown from ordinary seed.

Black Peas —days earlier than common black peas; 
pods unusually long, borne i:)rofusely; in 
good demand in some sections for table use. 
Wood’s Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Peas 
Identical in appearance and growth to the other Early Rams- 
horns, except: PEAS are much larger, more uniform in shape and 
size, brighter color, smoother skin with no split skins, and better 
eating quality. PODS are longer, better filled, will not pop open 
if left to ripen, and they make many more pods per vine. YIELD 
about twice as much on non-wilt land, and 4 to 8 times as much 
on wilt-infested land. They make three crops a season when 
planted early. RESISTANT to wilt, nematodes, charcoal rot and 
other diseases that materially reduce the growth, yield and quality 
of other blackeye peas. 
WOOD’S EARLY WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK- 
EYES —Matures green peas in about 63 days; dried peas 73 days. 
Extremely prolific. It makes a tremendous number of long pods 
for its small upright vine. It is uniform in size, growth and ma¬ 
turity. They have a delicious flavor and are the blackeye peas for 
early market. 
WOOD’S GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK- 
EYES —Matures green peas in about 70 days; dried peas in 80 
days. The most vigorous and heaviest yielding edible pea. The 
peas are almost twice the size of ordinary blackeyes. They can be 
planted in wider rows, require less seed per acre and are best for 
the main or late crop. It is a dual purpose pea, producing a tre¬ 
mendous yield of green and dry peas, yet makes more vine growth 
and is better for green manure or hay than Iron, Brabham and 
other cowpeas. Home gardeners should plant both strains, but for 
the early market the EARLY WILT-RESISTANT strain is best. 
Dwarf E ssex Rape 
Quick cheap pasturage for 
Poultry and All Livestock. 
Ready in 6 weeks. Furnishes 
grazing throughoxit the year. 
Averages 10 tons of green for¬ 
age per acre of highest feed¬ 
ing value for fattening or sup¬ 
plying vitamins to growing 
stock. One acre will pasture 
20 hogs for two months. A 
State exi)eriment station re¬ 
ports gains of over 7 to 8 
pounds by lambs fed on rape 
alone. To avoid bloating, have 
salt and hay available, and do 
not graze when wet or stock 
are hungry. Graze only a short 
while the first day. SOW 6 to 
8 pounds per acre broadcast, 
or 3 to 4 pounds in drills 18 to 
24 inches apart and cultivate 
occasionally. Sow again in 
corn at the last working for 
Dwarf Essex Rape ’ winter and spring pasturage.
