SCIOTO 
Wonderful New Variety 
Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University a 
r „ released for distribution in 1933. We grew Scioto for tl e 
first time last year with wonderful results. The stalk as 
you note by the picture was very tall with stiff stem ana 
set on an abundance of pods. It has been yielding at 
least three to five more bushels per acre than either Illini or Manchu. 
It is slightly later than Manchu and beans are similar but some¬ 
what smaller. It has proven an exceedingly good variety for all over 
Ohio and especially is it adapted to the Southern half of the state. 
Why plant another variety when Scioto is so outstanding in every 
way. 
The table below will give you the results of the last three years 
at the Columbus University Farm:

The above figures were taken from plots grown under similar 
conditions at Columbus. Scioto is way in the lead. 
Figures for 1934 are not available at this time or they would 
have been included. Our seed this year is all Certified and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Price per bushel, $2.00. 
11 I I ftl I m edium season variety of yellow Beans that are a 
general favorite in Illinois. The table above shows 
that they are heavy yielders of both hay and beans in Ohio. We 
have grown them and know they are all right. We have a fine lot 
of seed. Price, $1.75 per bu. 
IVI A midseason variety used both for HAY and 
SEED. It grows erect from 36 to 48 inches tall 
and carries an abundance of foliage, making it ideal for the pro¬ 
duction of hay. If sown around middle to last of May can be cut 
around last of August when weather is good for curing. We use 
Manchu on our farms and have hauled in four to six big loads of 
hay per acre. The quality and feeding value of Soy Bean Hay 
equal Alfalfa. FOR SEED, the Manchu produces from 20 to 30 
bushels per acre. The bean is yellow, medium sized, with black or 
brown seed scar. It excels other kinds because the beans do not 
shatter. Manchu is the ideal general purpose bean. Price, $1.75 
per bu. 
lAfll COM A medium sized black bean of unusual qualities, 
wonderful hay bean, grows very prolific, with many 
leaves. Is heavy yielder of beans and a variety we recommend very 
strongly. Plant a few of these beans in the corn you put in the silo. 
Price, $2.50 per bu.
