Clovers (continued from page 41) 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Louisiana grown) 
Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre alone, or 2 to 3 pounds per 
acre in a mixture. 
Recommended principally for mixture in perennial 
pastures. Furnishes abundant grazing throughout the 
year in the South. Also useful for lawns, especially in 
mixtures. Does well with Bermuda Grass. Succeeds 
best on moist ground and during wet seasons. Sow in 
the late fall and early winter. Fertilize with 400 to 500 
lbs. per acre of 0-14-10 mixture. 
1 Ib. $1.25; 10 lbs. $8.80; 25 lbs. $21.50; 100 lbs. $85.00 
LADINO CLOVER (Certified) 
Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
This is a large form of White Dutch Clover. It grows 
rapidly and spreads by creeping stems that root at the 
nodes. Does not flower so profusely as White Dutch. 
Usually a perennial, but may die if too dry or under 
long duration of very high temperatures. Sow in late 
fall or early winter. Used for soil improvement, 
pasture and hay. Does best on fertile, moisture re- 
taining soils. 
1 lb. $1.15; 10 lbs. $7.80; 25 lbs. $19.00; 100 lbs. $75.00 
CERTIFIED KENLAND RED CLOVER 
Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
This clover is rapidly gaining in popularity in Florida 
as a luxuriant hay and pasture crop for cattle and 
hogs. It has a longer active growing season than some 
other legumes. Fertilize with 400 to 600 lbs. per acre 
of a 0-14-10 or 0-10-10 fertilizer mixture just before 
planting time. Seed from September to December. 
Grows well with Bermuda and Bahia grass. For hay 
cut when in full bloom. It makes good growth in April, 
May and June when White Dutch and Crimson clover 
don’t do so well. 
1 lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $6.30; 25 lbs. $15.25; 100 lbs. $60.00 
CULTURE OF SOUTHERN PEAS 
Peas may be sown any time from March to September. 
Field varieties are always sown broadcast. Table va- 
rieties are always sown in drills three to four feet 
apart. The amount of seed per acre depends upon the 
size of seed, which varies with varieties. 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. 
Sow 20 to 45 pounds per acre in drills with table varieties. 
In the garden 12 to %4 pounds to 150 foot row. 
Sow 1 to 1¥% bushels per acre broadcast with field varieties. 
A bushel weighs 60 pounds. 
TABLE VARIETIES OF SOUTHERN PEAS 
IMPROVED BUSH CONCH. (62 days.) This variety of 
Conch pea is very early. A bunch type, the stocky 
vigorously upright growing plants making a bush about 
24 inches tall. Some short runners or tendrils may de- 
velop as with most table peas. The amount of runner 
growth is dependent largely upon the moisture availa- 
ble. Pods are oval, medium green, straight, and closely 
filled with light green, tender peas. Seeds are small, 
smooth, ivory white. 
VY lb. 20c; 
15 lbs. (pk.) $4.65; 
1 lb. 60c; 2 lbs. $1.00 
60 lbs. (bu.) $18.00 
CALIFORNIA BLACKEYE NO. 5 (Early Wilt-Resistant 
Ramshorn Blackeyes). (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 prolific, making a great number of 10 
to 12 inch long pods on an upright vine. Uniform in 
size, growth and maturity, and flavor. Our seed of this 
variety is California grown and is at least 98 per cent 
free of noxious weed seeds and mixture, and of high 
germination. 
VY lb. 20c; 
15 lbs. (pk.) $2.90; 
1 Ib. 50c; 2 Ibs. 85c 
60 lbs. (bu.) $11.00 
GIANT WILT-RESISTANT RAMSHORN BLACK- 
EYES. (70 days.) A vigorous heavy yielding pea. 
About 10 days later than the Early Wilt-Resistant 
Ramshorn Blackeye. The peas are much larger than 
the regular Blackeyes and can be used both green and 
dried. 
14 lb, 20c; 1 Ib. 50c; 2 lbs. 85c 
Write for prices on larger quantities. 
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 de- 
mand on the market for this variety, selling for higher 
prices than other Crowder peas. A sure cropper, heavy 
yielder, and well adapted to Florida growing con- 
ditions. 
V% lb. 20c; 
15 lbs. (pk.) $4.00; 
1 lb. 60c; 2 lbs. $1.00 
60 lbs. (bu.) $15.00 
THIN SHELLED PURPLE HULL (Dixie Queen). (75 
days.) Vines make 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. 
V% Ib. 20c; 
15 lbs. (pk.) $4.15; 
1 lb. 60c; 2 lbs. $1.00 
60 lbs. (bu.) $16.00 
FIELD VARIETIES OF COWPEAS 
Due to the unstable condition of the market, we are unable 
to make price quotations on field varieties of cowpeas. 
Write for prices 
BRABHAM. The Brabham Cowpea is resistant to wilt 
and root knot which attack some other varieties, makes 
fine, vigorous 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.
