Hollybrook Early Soja Bean. 
The most promising legume plant for Northern planters. 
Makes a quicker growth and matures its crop two to three weeks earlier than Mammoth 
Yellow Soja. An erect growing plant and is far more easy to harvest and cure than Cow Peas. 
Holly brook Early Soja is the earliest variety and succeeds in all sections of the North, while 
the Mammoth Yellow is of great value In the South. 
mountainous places, and throughout the North and West where the seasons are shorter. 
sure cropper, vigorous and quick growing. A larger crop can be had by planting something 
like corn and cultivating. The crop can be harvested with the corn binder, and set in shocks for 
curing; but'to make a finer hay sow broadcast. mow with hay mower, and cure in cocks. 
They may also be sowed with cow peas, with great 
success, using a half bushel of each per acre, well mixed. The erect habit of the Soy beans will 
sustain the running cow peas, and make a more nutritious crop even than cow peas.

point is they resist drought and hot weather to a remarkable extent.

Speltz. 
A Wonderful 
New Grain. 
This remarkable grain partakes somewhat of the nature of wheat 
and somewhat of the nature of barley. It has been grown for centuries 
in Russia, near the Caspian Sea. It was recently brought to this coun- 
try by an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention on 
account of its merits. ‘I'he grain is intermediate between wheat and 
barley. The chaff adheres to the grain when threshed, and is fed in 
that condition to stock. It is adapted for milling purposes, as well as

SHALLU. 
A non-saccharine sorghum from India, 
where it is extensively cultivated under the 
name of “Shallu.” It is also known under the 
name of California rice corn, Califorina 
wheat, Egyptian wheat. A Kansas grower 
received from the California Experimental 
Station four years ago a small sample of 
Shallu, andafter continuing planting has now 
raised a large crop for this season. He thinks 
it is more valuable than Kaflir Corn for the 
grain as it yields considerably more seed, and 
on account of its stooling habit, 3 to 6 stalks 
are produced from aSsingle grain. Inaddition, 
he considers it a drought resister; it forms a 
large head, with round, plump white seeds 
similar to broom corn, and has proven an ex- 
cellent feed for horses, cattle and chickens. It 
can be popped the same as pop corn, and is 
even more crisp then pop corn; makes an ex- 
cellent flour for pan-cakes, in fact it is really 
more of a grain crop than a forage crop, as it 
will produce more seed than any of the cane 
or sorghum family, and will yield double the 
amount of Kaffir Corn. Should be sown in 
rows 3 feet apart, 3 to5 pounds to the acre; for 
fodder sow 25 to 50 pounds, either broadcast or 
in drills. I certainly consider it worth a trial.

Jones, ‘‘The Java Man,” Suffield, Conn.—All seeds 
proved extra good and 90 per cent. better than some 
others I planted from other seedsmen. 
Mrs. W. F. Tray, Auburn, Wash.—I like Maule’s 
Seeds the best of any I ever used. I used them when 
living in New York State and when we came to Wash- 
ington, I sent for them. They are sure to come up 
and do well. 
L. D. Hodge, Sterling, Kan.—I have used your seeds 
over 30 years and can truly recommend them above 
any others [ have ever planted. 
=e J. D. West, North Emporia, Va.—Your seeds did 
== fine for me in 1908 as they have for 30 years past. 
Maule means a square deal.
