FIELD SEED 
All prices quoted are subject to change without notice. 
CHUFAS 
Plant 1 to 14% pecks (10 to 15 lbs.) per acre. 
(90 days.) This is a-species of ground nut, easily grown, and 
a wonderful hog fattening crop. Plant from April to August. 
Cultivation is the same as for bunch peanuts. Can be left in the 
ground until time to turn the hogs in, the hogs doing the har- 
vesting. Make rows 2 to 3 feet apart, dropping 3 to 5 Chufas 
together, 15 to 18 inches apart in the row, and covering about 
two inches. Especially suitable for light sandy and loamy soils.

COWPEAS 
Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre broadcast with field 
varieties. A bushel weighs 60 Ibs. 
Sow 20 to 45 Ibs. per acre in drills with table varieties. 
In the garden, make four plantings at different times. 
Plant 14 to % Ibs. to 150 feet at each planting for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
Cowpeas may be sown any time from March to September. 
Field varieties are always sown broadcast. Table varieties are 
always sown in drills three to four feet apart. The amount of 
seed per acre required depends upon the size of seed, which 
varies with varieties. Large seeded varieties like Blue Goose, 
Dixie Queen Purple Hull, California Blackeye, Sugar Crowder 
and the Ramshorns should be planted at the rate of from 30 
to 45 lbs. per acre, small seeded varieties like the Conchs— 
about 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Inoculate seed with Nitrogin. (See 
page 47.) 
Field Varieties of Cowpeas 
Due to the unstable condition of the market, we were un- 
able to make price quotations on field varieties of Cowpeas 
when this catalog went to press. 
Write for prices, indicating variety and quantity desired. 
Brabham. The Brabham Cowpea is absolutely immune from 
wilt and root-knot which attack some other varieties, makes 
fine, vigorous growth of vines, is early, and, where planted in 
March, April, or May, two good cuttings of hay can be made. 
Also a very good soil builder. 
Whippoorwill. Very early, prolific, makes good growth of 
vines, and is a good variety for general purposes. 
Mixed. The advantage claimed for sowing Mixed Cowpeas 
is that they produce an exceedingly heavy growth of vines 
for forage or soil improvement. 
Table Varieties of Cowpeas 
Improved Bush Conch. (70 days.) This variety of Conch 
peas is very early. The peas grow in what might be classified 
as a bunch type, the stocky, vigorous, upright growing plants 
making a bush about 24 inches tall. Some short runners or 
tendrils may develop which is characteristic of most table peas, 
however, the amount of runner growth is dependent largely 
upon the amount of moisture available. This variety, how- 
ever, does not make long spreading vine growth as do other 
varieties of edible cowpeas. Pods are oval, medium green, 
straight, and closely filled with light green, tender peas. Seeds 
small, smooth, ivory white.

Two Crop Running Conch. (80 days.) This variety makes 
a long spreading vine, matures relatively early for a run- 
ning variety, and has an exceedingly long bearing period, bear- 
ing an immense crop, from which it gets the name of Two 
Crop. It does well for late planting, and makes a good, late 
summer crop.

42 
Brown or Sugar Crowder. (85 days.) An _ early, edible 
podded variety, used also for green shelled peas and for dried 
peas. Plant dark green, thick stemmed and branching. The 
large pods are round, plump, blunt, medium green, filled 
with brownish peas, crowded tightly together. Seeds smooth, 
buff-brown with darker colored brown eye. Used also as a 
forage crop and for soil improvement. Our special strain of 
this variety has been especially selected for broader, flatter, 
thicker pods which do not fit too tightly around the seeds and 
shell out easier than the regular narrow type pods.

Thin Shelled Purple Hull (Dixie Queen). (80 days.) 
Vines make a very vigorous branching growth, and do best 
when planted in three foot rows. If planted close, plants go all 
to vine and do not bear well. Very early and productive. Pods 
ripen to a deep purple color, are very large, long, slightly 
curved, well filled with large seeds of high edible quality.

Blue Goose. (75 days.) This is an early Crowder Pea 
type. A fine table Pea as well as a splendid soil-improver and 
stock Pea. Pods are long, and the seed is very large.

California Blackeye. (75 days.) This is one of the best 
varieties of cowpeas for table use. Very early and very prolific. 
A standard heavy-bearing, strong-growing variety of easy growth.

Not prepaid, 15 lbs. (pk.) $2.15; 60 lbs. bu.) $8.00 
Extra Early Ramshorn Blackeye Peas. (68 days.) This 
is the earliest maturing large Blackeye pea. Matures sweet 
tender peas two months after planting and continues to 
bear if green peas are kept picked. The prolific heavy yield, 
along with attractive appearance of the large mature peas, 
extreme earliness, and good keeping qualities make it a most 
popular Blackeye pea for Florida trucking. The delicious fla- 
vor and large long pods which are easily shelled make it very 
popular with home gardeners. The vine produces large leaves 
with a very vigorous growth.

Early Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (68 days.) 
Extremely prolific. It makes a tremendous number of long 
pods for its small upright vine. It is uniform in size, growth 
and maturity. They have a very delicious flavor.

Giant Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (75 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, pro- 
ducing a tremendous yield of green and dry peas, yet makes 
fine vine growth for green manure or hay. Home gardeners 
should plant both strains of wilt-resistant Ramshorns, but for 
the early market the Early Wilt-Resistant strain is best.
