MISCELLANEOUS EIELD SEEDS 
BEANS. SOJA or SOY 
(Soja Hispida.) 
Tests of the nutritive value of Soja Beans demonstrate that they are 
decidedly superior to cowpeas for feeding purposes, and we do not won¬ 
der that the demand each year is increasing enormously. It is now 
recognized as one of the most! important forage crops for the South, as 
well as a nitrogen gatherer of the greatest value. The plant thrives in 
hot, dry weather, and does equally well on heavy and light soils. Sow 
either broadcast or in drills from May to July. 
Sow broadcast 1 to IV 2 bushels to the acre of the L^imoculate twis seed^ 
large seeded varieties and V 2 bushel to 3 pecks 
of the small seeded varieties. In drills sow about 
1 peck of the large varieties and about V 2 peck _ 
of the small varieties. 
SiloXO ^ upright variety and in the South where the season 
_.* is long it will be found a very good sort for hay and is 
also a very heavy yielder of beans. Seed brown, medium size. Write 
for prices. 
Black Eyebrow. A variety that will be found especially adapted 
^ where seasons are short, or where the beans 
are sown for hog pasture. Owing to its extreme earliness the seed 
may be sown in April, and by July the pods will be filled ready to turn 
the hogs on. Seed brown with a black border. Write for prices. 
Babalandt ^ valuable all-purpose Soja Bean. It is early, pro- 
- duces a splendid quality of forage, and a heavy yield 
of seed. Seed yellow. Write for prices. 
Ls^rcdO newer varieties, medium early and particularly 
g-nr>H for hay. Seed black, small and flat. Write for prices. 
IVTo^mmOth Yellow most popular of Soja Beans for forage 
* purposes. It is a late variety, but produces 
large quantities of both forage and seed. It is also used as food.

O-fnrt-fjltl Another good variety maturing later than Laredo. 
. Seed black, small and round. Write for prices. 
Well liked in the South. Yields a fine crop of hay. 
Wilson. A black-seeded variety, and one of the earliest^ and most prolific Soja Beans. A good sort to plant for hay, as it 
^ has a small stem, which enables it to cure easily. One of the best varieties for sowing in the North. Write for 
prices. 
Quit© similar in growth to Wilson. Excellent for forage, and becoming more popular each year. Seed small 
° and brown. Write for prices. 
BEANS, VELVET (Dolichos Multifiorus.) 
Among the newer forage plants this stands very high, as it is probably the most productive of its class and the best 
adapted to really poor soils. The growth is little less than marvelous, the vines attaining a length of ten or more yards, 
while the pods are borne in enormous clusters. All the experiment stations unite in declaring its nutritive value to be re¬ 
markable. For an acre, three pecks. Write for prices. 
lOO-DflV SD0Ckl6(l ^ very rapid growing bean; making possibly more growth than any other pea or bean known. 
^ ^ While it seldom matures in 100 days, it is very early, producing purple flowers in clusters. The 
pods are about three inches long, containing speckled beans that are nearly round. Especially recommended for improving 
the soil. Can be sown broadcast, but we think it best to plant in drills and cultivate them once. After they get started 
they soon cover the ground with vines so dense that it is difficult to plow them under. We recommend turning stock on 
them, and let them eat and trample down the vines, which can then be turned under or left until spring. Should be planted 
in May or June, 1 or 2 pecks to the acre in drills, or' one bushel broadcast. Write for prices. 
BEANS, WHITE or NAVY 
If saved bright, these are usually a most profitable crop, and there is no reason why more should not be grown in the 
South. Being perfectly dwarf and very prolific, an enormous quantity can be produced on an acre, and there is little cost of 
cultivation. As the weevil is likely to attack beans harvested during warm weather, it is best not to plant before the last 
of June. The ground should be well prepared by plowing and harrowing and drills made about two and a half feet apart, 
the beans either drilled or dropped by hand, being covered a little less than two inches. Deep cultivation is undesirable, and 
it is only necessary to keep the surface well loosened. When the majority of the pods have turned yellow the plants should 
be pulled by the roots and, after being left for a day or two to dry, spread in the barn until thoroughly cured. In Carolina 
they are often very profitably used for replanting missing hills in the cotton fields. For an acre, three pecks. Lb. 20 cts.

BROOM CORN 
"PvArerrAPn This variety grows about eight feet high, has a permanent green color, and is practically free from crooked, 
^ 1 CCAl. irregular brush. It succeeds best on strong, deep soil with good drainage, and as cold is very injurious, 
sowings must not be made until the ground is warm. To keep the brush in good shape it is necessary to bend the head down 
about the time the seeds mature. Drill in rows three feet apart and cultivate as ordinary corn. For an acre, five pounds.
