WOOD’S WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACKEYE PEAS 
MAKES 3 CROPS A YEAR 
DOUBLES YOUR YIELD 
MORE PODS PER VINE 
PEAS TWICE AS LARGE 
BETTER EATING QUALITY 
LONGER, BETTER FILLED POD 
RESISTANT TO WILT, NEMA¬ 
TODES, CHARCOAL ROT, ETC. 
We offer for the first time, two improved 
wilt-resistant strains of our famous Early 
Ramshorn Blackeye Peas. They were devel¬ 
oped on wilt-infested land by crossing Rams- 
homs and Iron Wilt-Resistant Cow Peas ten 
years ago, and backcrossing the resistant 
strains on Ramshoms 4 to 6 years. Out of 
S30 resistant strains tested under different 
conditions, we have selected two strains with Several rows of WOOD’S EARLY WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS, showing 
everything desired in edible Blackeyes for the the large number of long, weU filled pods on each stem 
South. 
W OOD’S WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS are identical in appearance and 
growth to the other Early Ramshorns, 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 ripeen, 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 3 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 RAMS¬ 
HORNS making a wonderful growth and yield 
on wilt-infested land. The row on the extreme 
right shows ordinary Ramshorns almost destroyed 
by wilt. 
WOOD’S EARLY WILT-RESISTANT 
RAMSHORN 
Matures green peas in about 63 days, dried peas 73 days, about 
5 days earlier than ordinary Early Ramshorns. Extremely 
Prolific. It makes a tremendous number of long pods for 
its small upright vine. It produced 3,500 pounds per acre 
of dried peas to 500 pounds for ordinary Blackeyes on wilt- 
infested land. It is uniform in size, growth and maturity. 
It has a delicious fiavor and is the best of all Blackeye Peas 
for the early market. 
WOOD’S GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS 
producing 4,000 pounds of dried peas per acre, while 
ordinary Blackeyes produced only 500 pounds per 
acre in the adjoining field. Note the tremendous 
size of the pods 
One row of WOOD’S GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS 
with a vine spread of 14 feet, completely covered with pods a foot 
long. Ordinary Blackeyes were planted in the row on the extreme 
right (where hat lies), but were destroyed by \viit. 
WOOD’S GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORNS 
Matures green peas in about 70 days, dried peas 80 days. The most 
vigorous and heaviest yielding edible pea. The peas are twice the 
size of ordinary Blackeyes. A week later but yields more peas and 
makes a larger vine growth than the Early Wilt-Resistant strain. It 
can be planted in wider rows, requires less seed per acre and is best 
for the main or late crop. It is a dual purpose pea, producing a tremend¬ 
ous yield of green or dry peas, yet makes more vine growth and is 
better for green manure or hay than Iron, Brabham or any other cow 
pea. Home gardeners should plant both strains, but for the early market 
the Early Wilt-Resistant strain is best.
