A NEW COW PEA I The Peruvian Cow Pea.—A few seeds of this wonderful new Pea were sent from Peru last year. Some were planted like other Cow Peas when they made such an immense growth as to cover the ground to a depth of three feet and spreading thirty feet each way. Another sowing made in drills developed the fact that this Pea requires as much space as the Velvet Bean, but being only one fourth in size one peck will sow an acre in drills four feet apart. The greatest value lies in its masses of large succullent leaves, eagerly eaten by all kinds of stock. The leaves resemble Pumpkin leaves in size and form, Vines and leaves form a splendid nutritious hay preferred by stock to any other. Seed of this new Cow Pea is as yet very scarce. We offer it per I lb 25 cts.; lb 60 cts., postpaid. Plant some and save your own seed for nest Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original C.
