BRABHAM—WwWilt-Resistant. Matures in 75 to 90 
days. The heaviest yielding cow pea for hay, pea 
production or soil improvement. It is disease- 
resistant and makes cow peas profitable when 
land has become so badly diseased that other 
varieties fail. It makes an upright vigorous 
growth, holds its foliage well, withstands bad 
weather at maturity and makes the finest quality 
hay. The seeds are similar to Whippoorwill, but 
smaller, and do not require to be seeded as thick- 
ly. It does well on poor land. 
WHIPPOORWILIL or SPECKLED—Matures in 75 
to 90 days. Makes a large vigorous growth and 
yield of peas or hay. Upright growth, easy to 
harvest. Vines are usually 6 feet long. 
BLACK—Matures in 75 to 90 days. Long running 
fine growth and heavy yield of peas. One of the 
best varieties for pasturing hogs. 
MIXED COW PEAS—For hay, soil improvement 
or hogging down, as it grows thicker, matures 
early, produces an abundant growth, stands up 
well. The seed costs less per bushel. 
MIXED COW PEAS AND SOY BEANS—The beans, 
being of upright growth, support the long pea 
vines, and not only make the harvesting easier, 
but the combination of cow peas and soy beans 
makes a better hay than either when grown 
alone, and they are easier to cure. 
Our Mixture Consists of Equal Quantities of 
Cow Peas and Soy Beans 
VELVET BEANS 
The South’s Wonderful Forage and Soil 
Improving Crop 
They make an enormous growth, larger than any 
other forage plant. Considered superior to cow 
peas as a soil-improver. : 
Makes Nutritious Fall and Winter Grazing—In 
the South, velvet beans are used very largely for 
winter grazing. They should be allowed to grow 
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. Velvet beans: 
are usually grown with corn. The corn is planted in 5-foot rows, 
3 feet apart in the row, and the beans planted between the corn. 
At the last working, beans are planted again in the middles be- 
tween the rows of corn. When the corn is dry it is pulled from the 
stalk and cattle turned in to graze. 20 pounds will plant an acre 
in 5-foot rows, 8 feet apart in the row. : 
100-DAY SPECKLED— Although it will not mature the pods in 
100 days, this is one of the earliest varieties and can be grown 
farther north than the common velvet beans. South of Virginia 
they will mature in a season of average length. In more north- 
erly sections, where the seeds will not mature, it will make a 
wonderful growth of vines for pasturing and finishing cattle, and 
a fine soil improver. 
OSCEOLA VELVET BEANS—Give excellent results as a forage 
crop in Virginia, where we have found it to make fully as much 
growth of vine as the 100-Day, with pods larger and farther ad- 
vanced in the same length of time. It is free of itchy furze.

SEEDSMEN SINCE 18794- 
This New Strain of the Sorghum Family Shows Special Merit for 
Grain Production in the Southern and Southeastern States 
Has proven exceptionally well adapted for harvesting with a 
combine harvester. Grows to an average height of 31 inches, but 
has a range of from 24 to 39 inches, depending upon seasonal con- 
ditions. The stalks are short and sturdy, giving it strength to re- 
sist lodging to a greater degree than any other known variety of 
commercial importance. Heads vary in length from 6 to 9 inches, 
depending upon the season, and heads are of uniform height. The 
kernels resemble yellow Milo in size and color, threshes readily ! 
without cracking. 
In a normal season will mature in about 100 days, but if moisture 
and warm weather prevail during late fall, it will continue grow- 
ing, requiring up to 125 days to mature. It is essentially a grain 
producer, ranging in yield from 25 to sometimes over 60 bushels 
per acre. Plant in rows, 4 to 5 pounds per acre, and only one culti- 
vation is necessary and no thinning required. 
One of our customers states: “It is an excellent feed for birds 
and can be easily combined. The seed will stay in the head all 
winter and furnishes fine bird feed, particularly when heavy snows 
prevail. Well adapted to light or poor soil. On thin land will double 
or triple the yield of corn and will yield a heavy crop of peas on 
non-wilt land. One of the best varieties for pasttrring hogs. 
In the Southwestern states Combine Wheatland Milo has in- 
creased enormously in popularity owing to its heavy yields per 
acre and a crop that is so much easier handled than corn and other 
crops. Our customers throughout Virginia and the Carolinas are 
high in their praise of Wood’s Wheatland Combined Milo, claiming 
In many cases that it will outyield corn with far less labor to 
cultivate and harvest the crop. Yields of 45 to 60 bushes per acre 
are very common throughout these sections and we believe that © 
it is destined to be one of our leading grain crops. We first intro- 
duced this Milo to our trade three years ago, and the seed we are 
offering this season is the same strain of exceptional quality, — 
testing practically 100% pure and over 90% germination, besides 
passing the same rigid field inspection as certified seed. ,
