COWPEAS 
COWPEAS 
Sow 1 to 114 bushels per acre broadcast with field varieties. 
A bushel weighs 60 Ibs. 
Sow 20 to 45 Ibs. per acre in drills with table varieties. 
In the garden, make four plantings at different times. Plant 
Y% to % Ibs. to 150 feet at each planting for a family of 
3 or 4 people. 


California Blackeye No. 5 Cowpeas 
Cowpeas may be sown any time from March to September. 
Field varieties are always sown broadcast. Table varieties are 
always sown in drills three to four feet apart. The amount of 
seed per acre required depends upon the size of seed, which 
varies with varieties. Large seeded varieties like Blue Goose, 
Dixie Queen Purple Hull, California Blackeye, Sugar Crowder 
and the Ramshorns should be planted at the rate of from 30 
to 45 Ibs. per acre, small seeded varieties like the Conchs— 
about 20 to 25 Ibs. per acre. Fertilize up to 300 Ibs per acre 
with a 0-14-10 mixture. Inoculate seed with Nitragin. (See 
page 73.) It is important to treat Cowpea seed with Spergon at 
the rate of 2 oz. per bushel when planted before the ground gets 
warm in spring. (See pages 51 and 64.)

Brabham. The Brabham Cowpea is immune from wilt and 
root-knot which attack some other varieties, makes fine, vigor- 
ous growth of vines, is early, and, where planted in March, 
April, or May, good cuttings of hay can be made. Also a very 
good soil builder. 
Mixed. The advantage claimed for sowing Mixed Cowpeas 
is that they produce an exceedingly heavy growth of vines for 
forage or soil improvement. 
Table Varieties 
Improved Bush Conch. (70 days.) This variety of Conch pea 
is very early. The peas grow in what might be classified as a 
bunch type, the stocky, vigorous, upright growing plants 
making a bush about 24 inches tall. Some short runners or 
tendrils may develop which is characteristic of most table peas, 
however, the amount of runner growth is dependent largely 
upon the amount of moisture available. Pods are oval, medium 
green, straight, and closely filled with light green, tender peas. 
Seeds are small, smooth, ivory white.

California Blackeye No. 5. (75 days.) This strain most closely 
resembles the old California Blackeye in its small, erect, early 
maturing vines and quality of seed. It is resistant to nematodes 
(root knot) and cowpea wilt. Very early and very prolific. 
Length of pod is 10 to 12 inches. Our seed of this variety is 
California State Certified, which means it is at least 98 per 
cent pure and free of noxious weed seeds and mixture, and of 
high germination.

Thin Shelled Purple Hull (Dixie Queen) Cowpeas 
Early Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (68 days.) Ex- 
tremely prolific. It makes a tremendous number of long pods 
on an upright vine. It is uniform in size, growth and maturity. 
They have a very delicious flavor.

Giant Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (75 days.) A 
vigorous heavy yielding pea. About 10 days later than the Early 
Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. The peas are much larger 
than the regular Blackeyes and can be used for both green and 
dried peas. 
1% Tb. 20c; 1 Ib. 45c; 2 Ibs. 80c 
15 Ibs. (pk.) $3.50; 60 Ibs. (bu.) $13.00 
Thin Shelled Purple Hull (Dixie Queen). (80 days.) Vines 
make a very vigorous branching growth, and do best when 
planted in three foot rows. Very productive. Pods ripen to a 
deep purple color, are very large, long, slightly curved, well 
filled with large seeds of high edible quality.

Alabama Crowder. (80 days.) A very early, prolific, edible 
pea. The very vigorous bush is of the semi-runner type. The 
large, straight pods average about 8 to 9 inches in length and 
are of very attractive appearance, which has created a demand 
on the market for this variety, it selling for higher prices than 
other Crowder peas. A sure cropper, and is very well adapted 
to Florida growing conditions.
