Soy or Soja Beans and Cow Peas 



WILSON EARLY BLACK. A very prolific va- 

 riety, and one of the best where a quick, early va- 

 riety is desired. Average height on good land is 

 about three feet. The Delaware State Experiment 

 Farm, after a most extensive investigation, recom- 

 mends the Wilson Black as ahead of any as a com- 

 bination hay and seed variety. It was found to ma^ 

 ture in about 115 days, to stand up well, make pods 

 a good distance from the ground and retain its 

 seed. Its fine stem enables it to cure quickly for 

 hay. Its tall growth and absence of lower branches 

 makes it one of the easiest soy beans to harvest. 



VIRGINIA. On account of its abundant growth 

 and large yield of beans the Virginia makes most 

 excellent hay and ensilage. As it is about 20 days 

 earlier than Mammoth Yellow, it can b'e grown 

 further North and throughout the corn belt. The 

 vines make a fine growth, are filled with pods, stand 

 about 3 feet high, are easy to cut and easy to cure. 

 The stems being fine and the leafage profuse adapts 

 it particularly well for hay making. 



MAMMOTH YELLOW. The latest yet the most 

 extensively grown for both beans and forage, both 

 of which it yields in great abundance. It grows 

 more than 3 feet high and can be cut with a mower. 



Particularly valuable for Virginia and farther south 

 for both beans and forage. 



WHIPPOORWILL. Sometimes called Shinney 

 Peas. The Whippoorwill is more largely grown 

 than any other cow-pea, probably because of its 

 long vine, usually 6 feet long, and because of its 

 large yield of both hay and peas. It matures early, 

 makes an upright growth, making it easy to cut. 

 Has brown speckled seeds that are easily threshed. 

 Recommended where an early variety of unusual 

 growth is wanted. 



BLACK. The Black Pea is largely grown on the 

 sandy soils of Eastern Virginia and North Caro- 

 lina, where it makes a fine growth of vine and 

 plenty of peas, but it does well under widely dif- 

 ferent conditions and soils. On heavy clay land it 

 makes a heavy growth of vine, but produces few 

 seeds. It is a favorite for growing in corn for 

 pasturing hogs, as the peas do not decay readily. 



MIXED COW PEAS. A general mixture of 

 good standard varieties which are used largely for 

 forage and improving soil. Produces rank foliage.

Selected Seed Corn 



BOONE COUNTY WHITE. A large-eared va- 

 riety of White Com. It has deep, soft and very 

 white grains ; it is a vigorous grower and has be- 

 come very popular, and has probably taken more 

 premiums than any other variety of corn for the 

 last few years. Being a soft com, it is excellent 

 for stock feeding, but it is more liable to rot on 

 the stalks in a bad, wet season than harder varie- 

 ties. Our seed is grown from premium stock. 



'EUREKA ENSILAGE. A very valuable white 



variety, making enormous yields on rich land. Espe- 

 cially adapted to river bottoms or lands subject 

 to overflows ; on account of its flintiness it can be 

 shocked and harvested early and will not rot in the 

 shock; grains white and flinty; superior for meal 

 and hominy. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. A broad-grained, large- 

 eared variety, maturing in about 120 days ; cob is 

 small ; grain very heavy, and of a beautiful golden 

 yellow color.

MULFORD CULTURES contain pure, tested strains of active, 

 vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria for inoculating seeds of legumes 

 or soil. 



MULFORD CULTURES are "different" and should not be con- 

 fused with other brands. 



The color is different (they are dark, almost black, due to a 

 special ingredient added to increase the growth and activity of 

 the bacteria). 



The count is different (bacterial counts show fully twice as many 

 bacteria as in the old-form cultures). 



The bottle is different (being sealed — an important feature which 

 prevents all possibility of contamination from the outside air).
