CALIFORNIA BLACKEYE No. 7 or Ramshorn Late, W. R. or California Blackeye, Large 
HC PEFOR 
Prof. W. W. Mackie, University of California, rigidly selected from his medium early, 
upright and vigorous vine No. 8137 to produce this variety resistant to charcoal rot, 
cowpea wilt, and root-knot nematodes. Its vigorous growth makes it well adapted 
to diversified types of soils. The pods set somewhat less concentrated at crown and 
mature over a rather longer period as compared to those of the No. 5 strain. Dry 
seed white with black eye and popular for edible purposes. 
PURPLE HULL H PEPLE 
A Sugar Crowder Pea with edible pods which turn purple as they mature. This variety 
is suitable for dry edible and canning green shelled peas. The dry seed color is 
buff-brown with darker brown eyes. 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER HC PEOIR 
A similar type pea as Brown Sugar Crowder suitable for the same uses. Desirable for 
its whitish cream color seed which has a light brown eye. Increasing in popularity and 
as larger supplies of seed are available it may be expected to be used in large 
quantities. 
WHITE LADY HC PEAIT 
Well known to the Southern trade. A prolific type producing rounded pods with 
many small light green peas. Vine dark green, husky, and stands about 24 inches tall. 
In the dry seed stage the peas of the true White Lady are very small, smooth, almost
