IRISH SEED POTATOES 
CULTURE. Potatoes can be grown in any soil provided 
it is well drained, but if grown on sandy, rich soil, they 
will be of better quality than if planted on clay soil. The 
sets should be planted from four to six inches deep, ac¬ 
cording to the time of planting, in rows four feet apart 
and 16 to 18 inches in the rows. It requires about 500 
pounds to plant an acre. 
Write for prices per bushel; we make special prices on

COW PEAS, and BEANS 
The character of growth in the many different varieties 
is quite varied. They are usually planted any time after 
corn planting season is over, up to first of August. Some 
varieties are highly esteemed for garden use; others for 
making hay and enriching the land. Send for special quo¬ 
tation on large orders. 
WHIPPOORWILL. Standard early bush variety. Sow 
broadcast after oats or in corn rows. Lb. 15c. 
BLACKEYE. Large blackeye table pea. Good either 
shelled or green. Lb. 20c. 
BROWN CROWDER. Very popular field pea for plant¬ 
ing between corn rows. Lb. 25c. 
IRON. The vines growing four to five feet long, with 
large, dark green leaves. Never affected by rust, and 
makes a particularly fine hay. This pea seems to be im¬ 
mune to many diseases that attack other varieties. Lb. 25c. 
CHINESE RED. This cowpea seems similar to the Iron 
variety due to its resistance to wilt and root-knot. The 
seeds are small and red and set in the pods very closely. 
The plant grows rather erect, making it easy to cut. 
Lb. 20c. 
CREAM OR LADY PEAS. This is a very fine variety 
for table use and soil builder. Produces peas and pods 
that are very tender and of good flavor. Can be cooked 
as a shell pea when dry. Price: Lb. 20c. 
MUNG BEAN. For livestock, poultry and even for the 
table. The Mung Bean is a comparatively new legume, 
but it has become at once popular. They are better than 
Cowpeas or Soy Beans for forage as well as for grain, 
and will grow when the latter fail. Growing upright to a 
height of about 18 inches they are more suitable for hay. 
Ground that produces wilt in other varieties will be suit¬ 
able for Mung Beans. Planted from March to September. 
Lb. 40c, postpaid. 
SWEET POTATOES 
CULTURE. Sweet Potatoes should be started in a hot 
bed. When the ground is warm and the danger of frost is 
past, the shoots are carefully lifted and plated in rows 
four feet apart and 18 inches in the row. They need con¬ 
siderable care until well stared, but after getting a good 
start will grow easily. They must be harvested before 
frost. ; ; j a; jj£j

SOY BEANS 
Most valuable hay and soil improvement crop for the 
South. It will pay you well. 
O-TOO-TAN SOY BEAN. The best hay crop and soil 
improvement variety we have found. It’s a wonder in the 
quality of hay it produces. Has made as high as three 
tons dry hay per acre. Of bush form. Plant in three-foot 
rows. Use five to six pounds per acre for full crop. Lb. 
30 cents. 
LAREDO SOY BEAN. Earlier than O-Too-Tan, not so 
much stem and foliage but a better seed producer. Good 
for hay and soil improvement. Lb. 25c. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW SOY. For seed production 
principally, this sort is by far the best. Seeds much larger 
and oilier than O-Too-Tan. Not so good for hay crop. Lb. 
25 cents. 
PINTO FRIJOLE BEAN. Similar to the pink bean but 
speckled in color. It has reclaimed thousands of acres of
