Early Green Soja Bean 



This varity produces enormous crops as far north as 

 Canada, and will ripen its seeds even in Massachusetts. It 

 grows about 4 ft. high and yields ten to twenty tons of green 

 fodder per acre, or 20 to 40 bushels of Beans. 



It is a valuable leguminous plant for the farmer and dairy- 

 man for either green or cured fodder or grain. It is especiallj' 

 valuable for ensilage in combination with fodder corn or 

 Japanese lliUet, thus furnishing a complete balanced ration. 

 It increases the milk and butter and fattens the stock. 

 The grain is also exceedingly nutritious, ranking, when 

 ground, even higher than cotton seed or linseed meal for 

 feeding cattle, hogs and other stock. 31bs. of Soja Bean meal 

 added to the grain ration of milch cows produces a rich milk. 



Soja Beans are great soil eurichers, adding humus and fix- 

 ing nitrogen from the air. (See cut.)

Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat. 



This grand variety, introduced by us several years flgo, 

 has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this coun- 

 try-. It is of strong, branching growth, stands up well and 

 produces from two to four times as much gram as any 

 other variety under same conditions. It is also fully a 

 week earher. The seed^Df our Japanese variety is nearly 

 as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 

 finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all 

 other sorts where known. 



The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports 

 that it has grown Henderson's New Japanese Buck- 

 wheat for two years, and has found it superior to the old 

 varieties in sever.al important respects. " It is larger and 

 stronger, and stands up better during storms, and its 

 seeds are larger, but what places it far ahead of Other 

 varieties is that of setting fuU crops of Buckwheat in 

 dry, hot weather." 



Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from 

 the largest Japanese t\-pe imported by us for stock seed 

 and is therefore immensely superior to that grown here 

 for several seasons wherebyithas deteriorated. (See cut.)

Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn. 



This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest 

 and the most productive Yellow Dent Corn ever produced, 

 and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially 

 in the Middle and Eastern States, on account of its immense 

 yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than 

 can be obtained from the average old-type corns generally 

 planted. 



Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of Com breed- 

 ing and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, one of the most success- 

 ful and progressive farmers in the. Pennsylvania com belt. 



The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length. 

 S to 11 inches in circumference, carrving 20 to 24 uniform 

 rows of long large kernels well developed over tip and butt. 

 It IS a luxuriant grower, .about 12 to 15 feet high, and in 

 Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed 

 to mature bv September 20th, when planted during the 

 first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed 

 grown by the originator for s.ale. and it cannot be offered 

 by any other spedsm.nn or dealer. CSee cut.)

JAPANESE MILLET. 



A ven,' distinct variety that is particularly valuable in 

 the Northern States as a quick-growing forage and en- 

 silage crop, attaining a height, in good soil, of 6 to S feet 

 and j-ielding from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. 

 For feeding green, it mav he cut from day to dayas 

 needed until the seed begins to ripen. During this reriod 

 it is much relished by stock; cattle especially consume it 

 without waste before touching green fodder corn, and 

 cows fed on it invariably increase in mUk. For OTlta 

 fodder, it should be cut in the blossom st.oge; »t is freely 

 on ten by stock and is often preferred by horses to llDio- 

 thy and Clover hav; when sown earlv.it producee« ,>^'J 

 second cutting. For ensilage, two parts of the WlHet 

 V) combination with one part Soja Penns forage, ]p^^ 

 n complete balanced ration that may be fed, without 

 crain. Sow from ^May to July, 15 lbs. of seed per acre ii 

 liroadcasted, or if in drills,12 to 18 inches apart, use 10 

 to 12 lbs. per acre. (.See cut.) Price, 10c. lb.; 10 bs.,
