Woods WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK-EYE PEAS 
The Earliest and Longest Yielding Edible Peas 

A field of Wilt-Resistant Black Eye Peas. The heaviest 
yielding of all Black Eye Peas. 
EDIBLE PEAS—They should be in every garden. Hconomical 
to plant, make a delicious dish when green, besides furnishing 
peas for winter when vegetables are scarce and high in price. 
Both dried and green peas are a profitable crop to market, and 
usually bring good prices. Plant after the ground gets thoroughly 
warm, 2 inches deep, 1 lb. to 200 feet. Do not plant after tobacco 
as too much nitrogen causes an excess vine growth which reduces 
the yield of peas. 
WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACKEYE PEAS are large 
size, very uniform in shape, smooth skin, bright color and excep- 
tionally fine flavored. Have long pods (7 to 8 inches and some oc- 
casionally 10 inches), with many more pods to the vine and con- 
siderably larger yields are obtained over ordinary blackeye peas. 
Resistant to wilt, nematodes, charcoal rot and other diseases that 
materially reduce the growth, yield and quality of other peas. 
Reports from all sections of the South for the past three years 
indicate that they will thrive and yield much better in wet or dry 
seasons than any other varieties. A leading southern experiment 
station reported: ‘Both Wood’s Early and Giant Wilt-Resistant 
Ramshorns made an excellent vine growth and put on a good crop 
of peas.” In the test the Early Wilt-Resistant peas’ yield in green 
weight was 18,200 lbs.—Giant Wilt-Resistant 20,400 lbs., against 
Black Peas 16,900 lbs., and Early Ramshorn 15,200 lbs. 
EARLY WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN PEAS 
The earliest of the wilt-resistant peas, maturing green peas in 
about 60 days, 2nd dried peas in 70 to 75 days. Are erect growing 
bush pea, very compact, with least vine growth, making cultivation 
easy. Matures very early so that it can be either used for a quick 
crop when planted early, or can be planted late as a double crop. 
Yields in excess of 4,000 pounds per acre of dry seed have been 
reported. The most satisfactory pea to plant on very fertile soils, 
where the Giant strain will have a tendency to too much vine. 
In a test plot, grown on a wind-blown sandy hill, it yielded 23.7 
one hundred pound sacks per acre. 
GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN PEAS 
About a week later than the early strain. As the name indicates, 
they are much larger than any other edible pea. A very heavy 
fruiter, prolific, and generally command quite a premium whether 
sold green or dried. It is a dual purpose pea, producing a tre- 
mendous yield of green and dried peas, yet makes more vine growth 
and better for green manure or hay than other cow peas. The Giant 
strain has runners 8 to 10 feet long and the pods are not carried 
as high above the plant’ as they are in the early type. Makes a 
strong plant and does well on weak soil where the early strain 
would not produce 4 heavy crop. Has the largest pods and seeds 
of all Blackeye Peas.

OTHER EDIBLE PEAS FOR THE TABLE AND MARKET 
They Are Listed in the Order of Maturity 
—The earliest of all blackeye peas. Will 
Extra Early Blackeye produce 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. 
—Makes green peas in about 68 days; 
Ramshorn Blackeye dry peas in 80 days. Makes a large leafy 
growth and is prolific, with well-filled pods. Its popularity is 
largely due to the attractive appearance of the matured peas 
and its extra good yielding quality. 
Bane —No blackeye pea can surpass Dixie 
Dixie Queen Brown Eye Queen in delicious flavor. It is a 
good sized pea of 
the Ramshorn type, except that it has a brown 
eye and is a few days later, being ready in about 85 to 90 days. 
Tenderness and sweetness are its outstanding characteristics, 
in these respects it has no superior in blackeye peas.
