WHEN AND HOW 
TO SEED 
Sow one to two bushels per acre broad- 
cast. Two to three pecks in drills. When 
sown with soy beans, kaffir corn, sor- 
ghum and sudan grass sow half a bushel 
soy beans or one peck kaffir corn or sor- 
ghum to 10 pounds sudan grass with one 
bushel cow peas to the acre. 

For Hay and Soil Improvement 
THE WHIPPOORWILL (90 Days). Also 
known as speckled. The seeds are buff, 
brown or grey, depending on type, and 
are speckled; they are spoken of as 
bush peas, but will make vines when 
planted on rich land; on poor soil they 
produce few vines and many peas. The 
plants grow upright, two to five feet 
tall—half bushy or semi-erect. The 
Whippoorwill is the most popular gen- 
eral purpose stock pea for either seed 
or hay. 
CLAY (110 Days). The seeds are buff 
colored, medium size, the plant is large, 
vigorous growing and of vining or run- 
ning habit, pods are large and yellow- 
ish. The Clay pea is used mostly for 
soil improving or green manuring. 
RED RIPPER (110 Days). Seeds are red, 
it is a vigorous growing vining pea. 
Like the Clay or Black, makes fine 
yield of long vines. Shy seeder, very 
popular where known. Planted mostly 
pe soil improving and in mixtures for 
ay. 
NEW ERA (80 Days). The seeds have a 
blue cast with many black specks—an 
early maturing upright growing variety, 
very prolific producer of peas, small 
vines cure quickly, splendid for hay. 
Seeds are smaller than Whippoorwill 
and it does not require as many to 
plant an acre. 
BLACK (120 Days). Seeds jet black, 
viny or running, making a fine growth 
of vines and leaves—shy seeder, splen- 
did land improver, most valuable as a 
forage crop; used also as a general pur- 
pose pea. If broadcast for hay mix 
some upright-growing pea with them 
to hold vines off the ground for cutting. 
MIXED PEAS (Hay 90 Days). For hay 
and soil improving, our mixtures con- 
sist of upright and vining peas—the 
upright growing peas, such as Whip- 
poorwill or New Era (when used) hold 
the vining or running peas such as 
Black, Clay and Red Rippers off the 
ground, which makes it much easier to 
cut for hay. 
@ Southern Grown PEAS 
for TABLE USE 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER (Semi- 
Dwarf). Seeds have brown eye, very 
sweet. Considered best of the Crowders 
for home or market. 
BROWN SUGAR CROWDER (Se mi- 
Dwarf). Will bunch on poor ground, 
make some vine on good soil, sometimes 
larger than the White or Cream Crow- 
der; very prolific. : 
SMALL CREAM CROWDER (Bunch). 
Also called Six Weeks or Two Crop. 
Will produce green table peas in six 
weeks; while we do not consider it su- 
perior to large Sugar Crowder, it is 
equally as good and its earliness makes 
it more desirable to plant for early 
market. 
LADY or GALLIVANT (Running). Small 
white pea with pale white eye. There 
are more of these peas sold on the 
Southern markets than any other of the 
small white peas. Fine flavor. 
LARGE WHITE BLACKEYE (Running). 
Main crop pea, late maturing, Long 
pods well filled; good producers. 

Top Notch MUNG BEANS | Grow Velvet Beans 
GREEN SEEDED @ 

RUSSELL-HECKLE . .. 
Mung Beans grow in upright bush form, 
2 to 4 feet high according to soil and cli- 
matic conditions. They have very heavy 
foliage, fine leaves and finer stems than 
any soy beans; a very important feature 
of Mung Beans is that the foliage is per- 
fectly green and still growing when the 
seed is ripe and ready to be threshed. 
The hay cures quickly and may be 
threshed in 2 or 4 days after cutting, and 
it retains all the leaves. Threshed Mung 
Bean hay, properly cured, is equal to al- 
falfa hay and is readily eaten by all 
kinds of live stock. This makes it pos- 
sible to make from 5 to 20 bushels seed 
per acre for a money crop, besides ob- 
taining at same time yield of 1 to 2 tons 
of very best quality hay high in protein. 
Matures in 70 to 90 days; harvest when 
majority of pods turn black. Best results 
with a mower and windrow attachment, 
or follow mower with side delivery rake. 
Mung Beans are a great soil builder, 
when properly inoculated. Use Nitragin. 
Sow 10 pounds seed per acre in 36-inch 
rows—cultivate until rows grow together 
too close to permit it. 
Ue 
Early Speckled . 
for Winter Grazing — 
The most valuable of all varieties and — 
the general favorite for all sections. 
This variety is the quickest grower and 
the most prolific. Matures in from 90 to — 
100 days. Sow in drills in May, one peck 
to % bushel to the acre. 7 
In the South, Velvet Beans are used ~ 
very largely for winter grazing, and for 
that purpose is one of the best crops for — 
the light soils and the long season of the — 
Gulf Coast and Florida. They should be . 
allowed to grow until December, or 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. TEHarly in 
the year, the crop remaining is plowed 
under as a soil improver, and adds very | 
ot eay to the productiveness of the 
soil. 
As a soil improver they are considered 
superior to cow peas, as they make so 
much larger growth and so much heavier 
amount of foliage. The proportion of ni- 
trogen contained in the vines is about 
the same as cow peas, but as the yield 
is so much greater, the total amounts of 
nitrogen and humus added to the soil are 
correspondingly larger. A crop of three 
tons will add as much nitrogen to the soil 
as will a ton of cotton seed meal, while 
the amount of humus will be three times 
as great.
