SOJA BEAN. 



Select Northern Grown. 



The Soja Beau Is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher. 

 as a food for hogs and cattle, both in the green and dry Etate. In 

 some parts of the South it is extensively grown only for feeding pigs, 

 and the agricultural bulletin's throughout the Southern States praise 

 same witnout stint. Here in the North the Soja Bean has not yet 

 become generally cultivated on account of its not being early enough 

 to ripen seed; but if you wish same for fertilizing, to plow nnder in 

 the green state, it Is certainly one of the very greatest plants next to 

 the Cow Pea, to sow, on account of its remarkable qualities. It will 

 draw from the sun and return to the earth just the nourishment and 

 properties that you are looking for. Our Soja Bean which we offer 

 here, this year ripened very nicely on our Rockford Seed Farms. 

 Postpaid, '2 lb. 15c; lb. 25c. At buyers' expense, > 8 bu, 40c; 1 i bu. 

 75c; V 2 bu. ¥1.40; bu. §2.75. 



VELVET BEAN. 



This Bean is creating a great sensation in the South and Middle 

 North. The planting that we had on our trial grounds surprised and 

 startled us. We have come to believe that it is going to be one of 

 the great green manure or fertilizing plants. It is tremendously pro- 

 lific, vines running from 12 to IS feet long. It is the Bean to try 

 everywhere. It no doubt will make as much green herbage as any 

 plant grown. It is new, and we urge eyery farmer to give it a trial.
