Soy beans are unquestionably the best meat substitute there is. They 
contain high concentrations of fat and proteins, and are so nearly iden- 
tical to meat in protein type that for years scientists were unable to 
distinguish any difference. But the fact that soy beans can virtually 
replace meat is not their only merit. 
Vegetable type soy beans are delicious food. Their flavor is different 
from all other beans, and they give a new taste sensation to any family 
diet. Since they are so much richer and so different in consistency they 
require somewhat different cooking technique, but they combine with 
an amazing array of other vegetables and with meats to lend richness 
and body to all. The green pods pop open easily if they are plunged into 
hot water for one minute. We will providea leaflet without charge, giving 
cultural suggestions, recipes, and cooking instructions for soy beans. 
Ask for it. 
Immunity from most diseases and such destructive insects as the 
Mexican Bean Beetle makes soy beans almost entirely free of natural 
enemies. The only threat is from hungry rabbits when the plants are 
young and tender. 
34 Bansei % 
Early, vigorous, very widely adapted (96 days) 
Bansei is the variety most people have planted because it is adapted to 
the widest range of climatic conditions. But Bansei has other good char- 
acteristics. It is early, vigorous, and very heavy yielding. Plants grow 
24 to 30 in. tall, requiring no support. Pods are short, fuzzy, and multi- 
tudinous, and contain two or three oval green beans. At maturity the 
beans turn pale yellow and become round. Grows freely even in heat and 
drouth, and is not hampered by wet weather. Resistant to most insect 
pests and diseases, but young plants are tempting to rabbits, from which 
they should be protected.

26 Funk Delicious 
Large plants, heavy crop (111 days) y 
For succession with Bansei. Quite late, but tall, stalwart, and excellent 
for central and southern states. Plants grow 30 to 36 in. tall and stand 
without support. Pods contain two or three large, plump beans resem- 
bling baby limas. Green or dry, the seed is rich in oil and delicately fla- 
vored. The mature beans are large, round, and straw yellow in color. 
Canning and freezing tests give this variety a high preferential rating.

32 Giant Green 
Extremely early dwarf, prolific (88 days) 
New to Maule customers this year, Giant Green is successful in almost 
any part of the United States because of its indifference to growing 
conditions and its rapid maturing habit. The plants are short, growing 
from 12 to 18 in. high, but they bear an astonishingly heavy crop in 
spite of their size. Pods generally contain two beans. The entire plant 
is darker green than other strains, and the very large seeds (from which 
it gets its name) are a vivid green during the green pod stage, and even 
retain a pale green color when they are mature. Pkt. 15¢.

Cultural suggestions: Simplicity of planting and tending makes soy 
beans a gardener’s delight. Plant them about 2 in. apart and 2 in. deep 
in rows 24 to 36in. apart. They come up rapidly and grow swiftly, easily 
outdistancing weeds. Throiigh poor soil, drouth, wind, hail, insects, and 
burning heat the plants survive where almost any other garden plant 
fails. Pods hang high and in great profusion, as shown by the mature 
plant pictured above. A packet plants about 25 ft.; 32 lb. 100 it.; 60 Ibs, 
to the acre. 
We believe that soy beans will become one of 
America’s most important food crops. They 
have an impressive record of over 4700 years 
of service in China, and under modern laboratory 
examination they are found to possess a really as- 
tonishing list of vitamins, minerals, and proteins. 
Grow this vital new food in your own garden this 
year.
