SOUTHERN PEAS (Cowpeas) 
Sow 1 to 14 bushels per acre broadcast with field varieties. 
A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
Sow 20 to 45 pounds per acre in drills with table varieties. 
In the garden, make four plantings at different times. Plant 
Y4 to 34 pounds to 150 feet at each planting for a family of 
3 or 4 people. 
For best results inoculate pea seed with Nitragin at planting 
time. (See page 69.) 
California Blackeye No. 5 
Peas 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 Dixie Queen Pulple 
Hull, California Blackeye, Sugar Crowder and the Ramshorns 
should be planted at the rate of from 30 to 45 lbs. per acre, 
small seeded varieties like the Conchs—about 20 to 25 lbs. per 
acre. Fertilize up to 300 lbs. per acre with 3-8-5 mixture. 
Inoculate seed with Nitragin. (See page 69.) It is important 
to treat pea seed with Spergon at the rate of 2 oz. per bushel 
when planted before the ground gets warm in spring. (See 
pages 52 and 62.) For insect control see page 54.

Brabham. The Brabham Cowpea is immune to wilt and 
root knot which attack some other varieties, makes fine, vigor- 
ous growth of vines, is early, and, when 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. (62 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. (65 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) 
Thin Shelled Purple Hull (Dixie Queen). (75 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.

Early Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (63 days.) Ex- 
tremely prolific. It makes a tremendous number of long pods 
on an upright vine. It is uniform in size, growth and maturity, 
and has a very delicious flavor.

Giant Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Blackeyes. (70 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.

Alabama Crowder. (70 days.) 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, heavy yielder, and is very well adapted to Florida 
growing conditions.
