The South’s Wonderful Forage and Soil 
Improving Crop 
Longest Yielding Edible 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 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 Rams- 
horns made an excellent vine growth and put on a good crop of 
peas.” Another report states that they averaged over 4,600 Ibs. 
of green pods per acre compared with 1,800 lbs. orodinary black- 
eyes. 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 yields of peas, 
EARLY WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN PEAS 
Strain 5—The earliest of the wilt-resistant peas, maturing green 
peas in about 60 days, and dried peas in 70 to 75 days. Are erect 
growing bush peas, very compact, with least vine growth, making 
cultivation easy. Matures very early so that it can be either used 
for a quick crod 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 
Strain 2—About a week later than the early strain. As the 
name indicates, they are 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 
tremendous yield of green dried peas, yet makes more vine growth 
and better for green manure or hay than other cow peas. The 
Giant strain has runrers 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 a heavy crop. 
Has the largest pods and seeds of all Blackeye Peas.

BRABHAM—Wilt-Resistant. Matures in 75 to 90 days. 
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, 2 feet apart in the row, and the beans 
planted between the corn. At the last working, beans are 
planted again in the middles between 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; 
3 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 northerly sections, where the seeds will not ma- 
ture, it will make a wonderful growth of vines for pastur- 
ing 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 advanced in the same length of time. 
It is free of itchy furze.

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 thickly. It does well on poor land. 
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—Fer 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. 
NAVY BEANS—Michelite Strain 
An improved strain—very prolific—maturing in 90 to 95 
days, and larger yielding than the ordinary navy bean. The 
pods on the stalk stay off the ground, a3 they have a stronger 
root growth, which is most important when heavily loaded 
with pods. Navy beans should be planted by every farmer 
for dried beans for soup or baked beans all winter. Nothing 
tastes better in cold weather. Plant in June or July, 2 or 3 
beans in hills a foot apart, in 2-foot rows; 1 lb. to 100 feet; 
15 lbs. per acre. Cultivate early before they blossom, but 
not dceply, nor while wet with dew. 
CERTIFIED EARLY COMBINE HEGARI 
Early Hegari, a new combine type, is about two weeks 
earlier in maturing grain than regular Hegari. It is a very 
heavy grain yielder for an carly kind. Head structure, uni- 
formity and leaf growth are the same as regular Hegari. 
Early Hegari grows to a height of about four and a half 
feet under normal conditions. It is very popular in all areas 
where it has been introduced and is gaining rapidly in popu- 
larity. Early Combine Hegari is principally recommended 
as a grain producer.
