MAMMOTH YELLOW SOJA.—One of the 
most valuable forage plants for pasturing 
or feeding green. The vines are bushy and 
of vigorous, erect habit. Fed in the green 
state, they afford most nutritious forage. 
Sow broadcast at the rate of one-half 
bushel to the acre, or plant in drills 3% 
feet apart, and 1% feet between the plants, 
dropping three beans in a hill. One gallon 
will sow one acre, if drilled. Planted from 
March to August. 1 Ih. 25c., postpaid; 
15-lb. peck, $1.25; GO-lb. bu., $4.00, not pre- 
aid. 
y EXTRA EARLY SPECKLED VELVET. 
—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, $1.25; 6U-lb. 
bu., $4.00, not prepaid. 
MUNG BEANS.—Introduced into Amer- 
ica about 1835. It is upright in growth, 
strong and vigorous, free from disease of 
any sort, makes excellent hay, retaining 
its leaves after being cut. The beans are 
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 Ib., 50c.; 5 lbs., $2.00, 
prepaid: not prepaid, 10 lbs. to 100 lbs., at 
LAREDO.—A variety that is a distinct 
addition to the forage crops of the Cotton 
‘Belt. As a soil builder, it ranks favorably 
with other summer legumes making equal 
growth. May be planted from the earliest 
cotton planting date to the first of July 
with reasonable certainty of a good crop. 
Seeds are very small and one bushel will 
plant from 8 to 10 acres in 2% foot rows. 
Covered very lightly. Price, 45c., per Iihb., 
60-1b., 
postpaid; 15-lb. peck, $3.00; bu, 
$10.00, not prepaid. 
Dwarf Essex Rape. 
0O-TOO-TAN.—This is a fast-growing hay 
bean, growing 4 to 5 feet high. The O- 
Too-Tan is a black bean, rather small. One 
half peck plants an acre in rows 2% to 3 
feet apart. Cut when just beginning to 
turn and cure in the regulation Way, or let 
stand until pods are almost ripe, if wanted 
for grain. The O-Too-Tan will greatly out- 
yield cowpeas. Prices, lb., 40c., postpaid; 
15-lb., peck, $3.00; 60-lb. bu., $11.00, not 
prepaid. 
BILOZXI.—An upright variety, covered 
with a dense mass of foliage that does not 
shed easily. A heavy yielder, and a fine 
bean for hogging down for planting with 
corn or sorghum. For grazing, it is unex- 
celled. 6 to 8 pounds to the acre. Gb,,
