Woods WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK-EYE PEAS 

The Earliest 


Note the heavy yield of Early Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Peas 
se 
and Longest Yielding Edible Peas 
WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACKEYE PEAS are large 
size, very uniform in shape, smooth skin, bright color and exception- 
ally fine flavored, Have long pods (7 to 8 inches and some occasion- 
ally 10 inches), with many more pods to the vine and considerably 
larger yields are obtained over ordinary blackeye peas. Resistant to 
wilt, nematodes, charcoal rot and other diseases that materially re- 
duce 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 Ramshorns made an excellent vine growth 
and put on a good crop of peas.’ Another report states that they ay- 
eraged over 4,600 lbs. of green pods per acre compared with 1,900 lbs. 
ordinary blackeyes. 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 grow- 
ing bush pea, very compact, with least vine growth, making cultiva- 
tion 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 re- 
ported, 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 and dried peas, yet makes more vine growth and better for 
green manure or hay than other cow peas. The Giant strain has run- 
ners 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.

OTHER EDIBLE PEAS FOR 
THE TABLE AND MARKET 
They Are Listed in the Order of Maturity 
EDIBLE PEAS—They should be in every garden. Economical 
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. 
1X1 —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. 
MH —A pure white pea with black eye. 
Blackeye White Crowder Similar in color to Ramshorn, but 
of Crowder type. A fine table pea for both green and dried use. 
Green peas in 70 days, dried peas in 85 days.

Red Speckled Crowder mottled red coloring. A decided favo- 
rite in many sections of the South. Same maturity as Brown 
Sugar Crowder.

days. A large speckled pea with long pods, and largest yielder 
of all the Crowder types.

peas in 100 to 110 days. One of our best flavored table peas, of 
large size and exceedingly popular throughout the South. Very 
prolific, yielding from 10 to 12 bushels of dried peas per acre. 
areas —For the main crop this has always been 
Virginia Blackeye the most extensively grown of all blackeye 
peas in Virginia. One of the latest maturing varieties, making 
green peas in 75 to 80 days and dried peas in 95 to 100 days.
