W. F. ALLEN’S PLANT AND SEED CATALOGUE. 
SOY OR SOJA BEANS. 
IHPROVED WHIP=POOR= 
WILL.— This variet’y has 
much larger grain and will 
at least produce 50 per cent, 
more shelled per acre 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 1 anYsure that 
no finer seed than these can 
be produced anywhere. It 
is nicely cleaned,f 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’placing your ord¬ 
ers elsewhere. 
SOY OR SOJA SEANS. 
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 ipore 
than Cow Peas. Tt takes the entire season, however, for 
the Soja Beans to grow, while the Cow Peas can be used 
as a calch-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 
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 iherefore 
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 $120; 
bushel $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.
