SCIOTO 
Wonderful New Variety 
Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University and 
released for distribution in 1933. We grew Scioto for the 
first time last year with wonderful results. The stalk as 
you note by the picture was very tall with stiff stem and 
set on an abundance of pods. It has been yielding at 
least tnree 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. Price Scioto Soy Beans $1.60 per bushel.

Dear Sirs: November 18. 1935 
I would like to place my order for one half bushel of your Ohio 
Hybrid Corn (51x67) (lOxTr) from the list that I received from 
the Franklin Co. Agriculture Agent. 
I have bought from you in the past and know that if it comes 
from Scarff’s it is good. I raised about the finest field of Soy 
Beans I have ever seen from your Scioto seed.

■ I ■ Ifcll A medium 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, $1.25 per bu. 
IUIA Nf*UI I 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, $1.30 
per bu.
