Mammoth Yellow Soia Beans 
Japanese Soy 
or Soja Beans 
On the left hand side of this page 
we show a plant of Soja or Soy 
Beans in full leaf—on the right a 
photograph taken on the llast- 
tings’ Farms when the beans 
were about ready for harvest, 
showing the immense prolilicness 
of this new forage and feeding 
crop for the South. They grow 
splendidly any where in the South; 
are equal to if not superior to the 
cow pea as a soil improver; when 
sown in rows and cultivated 
makes heavier yield per acre and 
are superior to the cow pea in 
feeding value for stock. We ex¬ 
pect that in a few years Soja Beaus 
will be as generally planted as 
cow peas throughout the South. 
We expect to plant them very 
largely ourselves this year both 
for soil Improvement and stock 
feed. They are most nutritious 
aud contain more fattening qual¬ 
ities than any other crop. 
Can be sown either broadcast 
like peas at rate of 1 to 1% bushel- 
per a ore or in drills 3% to 4 feet 
apart using ^2 bushel per acre. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW SOJA BEANS 
There are a number of early varieties of Soja Beans that are necessary to plant to meet the 
very short growing season of the Northern States but here in the South no variety is so gen¬ 
erally successful and valuable as the Mammoth Yellow—the variety shown in our illustra¬ 
tion.' Packet, 10 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 36 cents; postpaid. Not prepaid, peck 75 cents; 
bu'hel. about S2.15. Bushel price subject to market changes. Write for prices when ready 
t I buy in quantity. 
TTTkla-nrl T> A valuable crop. Will make from 40 to 60 bushels per acre. Lb., 
-i-Vlljt; 25c.; 5 pounds, ll.OO, postpaid. Peck, 75e.; bu., $2.75; not prepaid. 
„-_-C We used to consider this as strictly a plant to sow in 
X-r WclXi XXclJJX; tbe fall for winter green feed and pasture, but in 
recent years there is not a month in the year that it is not ordered. It furnishes rich, nutri¬ 
tious pasturage and green feed within 6 or 7 week ■ of sowing. Fattening qualities of ra|ie 
are considered much superior to clover. We would not advise sowing rape from May to 
August but it can be sown profitably any time from September to March. Pound, postpaid, 
25 cents; 10 pound lots or over, not prepaid, 10 cents per pound.

Peanuts 
Koia lieaits on Hastings* Harms 
This is the best variety 
for the central and lower 
South, where a forage and fattening crop is wanted. The Spanish is an early and 
heavy bearer and along the Uulf Coast and in Florida where they can be planteil 
In April, two crops a year can be made. In that section the second crop can be 
planted as late as July 15th and they will mature before frost. The tops give you, 
hav and the nuts grain. In harvesting, the nuts cling fast to the vines and the tops 
and nuts are fed to the stock together as a hay and grain ration. The tops make 
good forage either green or cured. The Spanish peanuts grow in close bush form 
making it possible to plant them close 
and cultivate easier than the old “vine” 
sorts. The nuts are smaller, but much 
sweeter and finer flavored than all the 
large ones, and are very free from the 
“pops” that are so common in the large 
varieties. Lb.,25c.; 3]^lbs., 75c.;postpaid. 
Peck, not prepaid, 75c.; bu.. about S2.25.

North Carolina 
Running Peanut 
We have had so many calls during the 
last few years for the “old time running 
peanuts” that we are cataloguing them 
this year. Of the several running varie 
ties the “North Carolina” is the best and 
heaviest yielder in the South. Pound, 
25 cents; 334 pounds, 75 cents, postpaid. 
Peck, 75 cents; bushel, about 82.25. Write
