WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK-EYE PEAS 
ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND LONGEST YIELDING EDIBLE PEAS 
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 quaiity of other peas. Reports from all cections 
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 g:ound 
gets thoroughly warm, 2 inches deep, 1 lb. to 200 feet; 1 to 1/2 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 compact, 
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 fertile 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 com- 
mand 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. 
NAVY BEANS (Michelite Strain) 
An improved strain—very prolific—maturing in 90 to 95 days, and larger yield- 
ing than the ordinary navy bean. Nothing tastes better in cold weather. 
Plant in June or July 2 or 3 beans in hills a foot apart, in 3-foot rows; 1 Ib. 
to 100 feei; 15 Ibs. per acre. Cultivate early before they blossom, but not 
deeply, nor while wet with dew. Note the heavy yield of Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Peas
