W. F. ALLEN'S PLANT AND SEED CATALOGUE. 



inPROVED WHIP=POOR= 



WILL.— This variety has 

 much larger grain and will 

 at least produce 50 per cent, 

 more shelled per ac,re more 

 than the regular Whip-Poor- 

 Will, but' will not hold its 

 foliage as long. Many pre- 

 fer this, however, on account 

 of its increased yield ingrain. 

 It depends somewhat for 

 what purpose the peas are 

 grown as to the most desira- 

 ble variety. Price per qt. 20c 

 peck 70c.;half-bu.$1.20; bu. $2_ 

 Note —Of the above named 

 varieties I have 'a splendid 

 stock on hand~ of my own 

 growing, and I am" sure that 

 no finer seed than these can 

 be produced anywhere. It 

 is nicely c 1 eaned,'? large, 

 plump seed, and is all sacked 

 In even two-and-a-half bush- 

 el sacks;so whenever possible 

 make your order figure on 

 even bags. I will have other 

 varieties in stock' from time 

 to time and shall be pleased 

 to quote you prices on what- 

 ever you desire at any time. 

 Be sure and correspond with 

 me before'placmg your ord- 

 ers elsewhere. 



SOY OR SOJA BEANS. 



This new forage plant has attracted more attention 

 around Salisbury the past season than any novelty for 

 a long time. It will produce more hay to the acre than 

 anything I know of. I think it will make a little more 

 than Cow Peas. It takes the entire season, however, for 

 the Soja Beans to grow, while the Cow Peas can oe used 

 as a catch-crop after early vegetables, strawberries, etc. 

 The accompanying illustration will give you some idea 

 of the magnificent growth it makes. This photograph 

 was taken near Salisbury the past summer. Soja Beans 



SOY OR SOJA BEANS. 



make excellent hay for horses and cattle, if cut just 

 when the beans have filled. It is easy to cure and easy 

 to handle. Will keep growing until frost, and therefore, 

 unlike most other hay, crops can be cut any time after 

 maturity at the convenience of the grower, and it will 

 stand for weeks after being ready to cut without mater- 

 ial damage. Price per qt. 20c.; peck 70c; half-bu. $1.20.; 

 busnel $2.00. 



When Cow Peas or Soja Beans are to go by mail, 

 add fifteen cents per quart for postage. 



CHOICE FLOWER SEEDS. 



Through lack of space our descriptions of flower seeds 

 have been cut down very short and illustrations eliminated al- 

 together. I am very sorry for this, as I intended to give more 

 room to flowers than I shall be able to do this season. I wish 

 to say, however, that the varieties of flower seeds which I am 

 offering are of the very choicest imported stock and will com- 

 pare favorably with the best that you can buy in this country 

 from the gorgeously illustrated catalogues. As most of my 

 customers will want flower seeds for home decoration only, 

 and my space devoted to them being very limited, I have of- 

 fered them in choice mixtures only, which I think will be the 

 most satisfactory. In ordering other seeds don't fail to in- 

 clude a few flower seeds.
