SOJA BEAN. 



The Soja Bean is coming right to the front as a great soil enricher, as a 

 food for hogsond cattle, both in the green and dry state. In some parts of 

 the South it is extensively grown only for feeding pigs, and the agricultural 

 bulletins throughout the Southern States praise same without stint. Here 

 in the North the Soja Bean has not yet become generally cultivated on 

 account of its not being early enough to ripen 6eed; but. if you wish same for 

 fertilizing, to plow under in the green stale, 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 justthe nourish- 

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

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

VELVET BEAN. 



This Bean is creating a great sensation in the South nnd 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 prolific, vines running from 12 to 

 18feetlong. 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 every farmer 

 to give it. a trial. Postpaid, pt. 20c; qt. 35c At, buyer's expense,
