WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK-EYE PEAS 
ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND LONGEST YIELDING EDIBLE PEAS 
so . WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACKEYE PEAS 
Wilt-resistant Ramshorn Blackeye Peas are large size, very uniform in shape, 
smooth skin, bright color and exceptionally fine flavored. Have long pods 
(7 to 8 inches and some occasionally 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 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. Plant after 
the ground gets thoroughly warm, 2 inches deep, | Ib. to 200 feet; 1 to 15 
bushels per acre. 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 
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 com- 
pact, with least vine growth, making cultivation 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. The most satisfactory pea to plant on very 
tertile soils, where the Giant strain will have a tendency to too much vine. 
GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN PEAS 
About a week later than the early strain. As the name indicates, they are 
larger than any other pea. A very heavy fruiter, prolific, and generally 
command quite a premium whether sold green or dried. The Giant strain 
has runners 8 to 10 feet long and the pods are not carried as high upon 
the plant as they are in the early type. The crop of Giant Wilt in short supply 
—will ship Earlies in event not available. 
DIXIELEE EDIBLE PEAS 
A recent development by The Mississippi Delta Experiment Station. Has ex- 
cellent eating and canning qualities, better adapted to wider range of soils 
and resistant to nematodes. A bunch type pea giving highest yield in
