NAVY BEANS 
The snowy whiteness and uniform size of a good true stock 
gives them preference over ordinary stock and puts the grower 
in a position to command a better price. Well selected stock also 
gives a better yield than the common run of Navy Beans. Do 
not make the mistake of planting too 
early for if planted too early the beans 
after harvesting will probably be buggy. 
The last of June or in July plant in rows 
_ 3 feet apart, dropping two or three beans 
a foot apart in the rows. Cultivate early, but not while the dew 
is on the foliage, nor after they begin to blossom, and do not 
cultivate deeply after they are three or four inches high. 15 lbs.

Growing Virginia Black Eye 
The general practice is to plant as late as possible so as to ma¬ 
ture dried peas just before frost. It requires about 100 days to 
mature Virginia Blackeye Peas on light land, whereas on" stiff 
land it takes slightly longer. Some peas, however, Will be ready 
for home use in 75 days. Generally speaking, the proper time is 
to plant is between the last week in June and first week in July. 
Plant with a corn planter in three-foot rows, 18 to 24 inches apart, 
Peas for Seed or Dried Peas 
and cultivate. When the crop is ready for harvest, cut with mower 
in the morning and rake up and thresh in the afternoon. This will 
prevent the shattering which usually occurs when peas are handled 
in the middle of day. Virginia Blackeye Peas generally yield from 
12 to 15 bushels per acre, and in good seasons as high as 20 bushels. 
Plant at the rate of 12 pounds per acre. 
VELVET BEANS - The South'sWonderful Foliage and Soil Improving Crop 
A PINE FALL AND WINTER GRAZING CROP 
Velvet beans make an enormous growth, larger than any other known forage plant. 
As a soil improver they are considered superior to cowpeas, making much larger 
growth and foliage. 
Makes Nutritious Fall and Winter Grazing.—In the South, velvet beans are used 
very largely for winter grazing. They should be allowed to grow until killed by frost, 
after which they can be grazed through the winter, as the vines, leaves and pods decay 
very slowly and remain palatable a long time. 
Velvet beans are usually grown with corn. The corn is planted 
in five-foot rows, three feet apart in the row, and the beans 
planted between the corn. At the last working, beans are planted 
again in the middles between the rows of corn. When the corn is 
dry. it. is pulled from the stalk and cattle turned in to graze. 
20 lbs. will plant an acre in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart in the row.

100 Day or Speckled Velvet Beans 
varieties and can be grown farther north than the common velvet beans. South of 
Virginia they will mature in a season of average length. In more northerly sections, 
where the seeds will not mature, it will make a wonderful growth of vines for pas¬ 
turing and finishing cattle, and a fine soil improver. By mail postpaid, quart 30c;

Osceola Velvet Beans 
—The Osceola has given excellent results as a 
forage crop in Virginia, where we have found it 
to make fully as much growth of vine as the 
Early Speckled or 100-Day, with pods larger and farther advanced in the same length 
of time. It also has the advantage of being free from the itching furze. By mail
