EXTKA EABZiY SPECKIiED VEIiVET. 



— Is very productive, making from one 

 to two tons of beans in hull per acre. 

 Land that will make 20 bushels of corn, 

 will make one ton of beans in addition to 

 the corn, doubling the feed value of every 

 acre planted. It is a great fattener for all 

 stock, and one of the greatest milk pro- 

 ducers. As the hull is very thin, propor- 

 tion of seed to hull is about double that of 

 the thick hulled varieties. Does not pop 

 open and will remain good in field indefi- 

 nitely if it is clear of the ground. One peck 

 to the acre. Planted from March to August. 

 lb., 25c., postpaid; 15-lb. peck, $1.50; 60-lb. 

 bu., $4.50, not prepaid.

 good for table use, the flavor being like 

 that of cowpeas. The beans mature in 

 about 90 days. Plant the same time as 

 cowpeas. A splendid soil builder. Five 

 pounds of seeds will plant an acre with a 

 drill in 3% foot rows. It does well when 

 broadcasted also. 1 lb., 50c.; 10 lbs., $4.00, 

 postpaid.
