WILSON’S SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans 
Wilson’s 
This is the most popular variety in cultivation. 
This is an early sort that will mature seed in Penn¬ 
sylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. On account abund¬ 
ant growth of slender stems and branches the Wil¬ 
son makes the best sort to grow for Hay. This is 
also an excellent sort to grow for seed and ensilage. 
Will do well on poor soils and produce a large crop 
of beans, but we would recommend good soil for 
hay, forage, soiling, silage or green manure. See 
price list. 
The Soy Bean is a crop of interest to all classes of 
farmers, and is bound to establish itself as one of 
the most valuable additions to American agricul¬ 
ture. No crop has gained 
popularity as rapidly as 
Soy Beans. On land too 
poor to grow Clovers, Soy 
Beans and Cow Peas can be 
made to produce great 
quantities of feed and will increase the fertility 
while doing it. Soy Beans should not be planted 
until the ground is warm. About ten days after 
corn planting would be safe. Soil should be well 
prepared, just the same as you would for corn. Seed 
should be covered about one and one-half inch deep. 
Can be sown broadcast or drilled in. When drilled 
with grain drill sow one and one-fourth bu. per 
acre. Broadcast will require one and one-half bush¬ 
els per acre. Sowing them in rows of 24 to 32 inches 
apart and two to three inches in the row will save 
seed and you will be able to cultivate your crop. 
Cultivate it as often as you would Corn. This 
method of planting will require 20 to 30 pounds per 
acre, depending on the width of the rows. 
The growing of Soy Beans has long since passed 
the experimental stage. Their adaptation to all 
parts of the country, and their value and place in 
agriculture apparently surpassing all other le¬ 
gumes, has been determined. Their high feeding 
value and their usefulness as soil improver makes 
them valuable additions to our list of field crops. 
Mammoth Yellow 
This is a medium maturing variety. Will not ma¬ 
ture seed in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Will grow on 
barren soil that does not have sufficient fertility to 
grow other plants. Planted largely as ensilage with 
corn, or for forage and turned under for soil im¬ 
provement. Not such a good variety for hay, grows 
very tall, and is coarser in texture than Wilson. 
Will make more growth, and more bulk for silage 
than any other variety. See price list. 
Manchu 
This variety has been very popular in Pennsyl¬ 
vania and Ohio. It is a general all purpose Bean, 
and has few rivals. Can be used for Hay, and a 
good variety for hogging down. Does not shell out 
easily. A good Yielder for seed purposes. Grows 
Tall, erect and bushy. Matures Beans in about 110 
days in a normal season. See price list. 
Canada Field Peas 
The demand for Canada Field Peas increases every 
year. It is used both as a green feed and as a fertil¬ 
izer and the amount of feed produced per acre is 
very large. Valuable feed for hay or soiling. It is 
readily eaten by all kinds of stock, and is as nour¬ 
ishing as can be desired. It ranks very high as a 
fertilizer, either when plowed under or pastured off. 
We would advise every farmer to use Field Peas 
more liberally than many of them have been doing 
in the past, knowing that they will be pleased with 
the results. Canada Field 
Peas are mostly sown with 
Oats. When growing they 
furnish the nitrogen so 
much needed by all soils. 
As a forage for dairy cows 
and hogs they stand in the front ranks. There is 
no crop that we can so heartily recommend. They 
are perfectly hardy and will do on any soil adapted 
to Oats or Wheat. Canada Field Peas are most 
profitable when sown with Oats. The Oats will sup¬ 
port the vines, and lessen trouble to harvest. Sow 
1 % bushels of Peas per acre, and about the same 
amount of Oats. Peas should be drilled first about 
3% inches deep and the Oats sown 2 inches deep. 
See price list. 
It will pay you to inoculate your Peas with Nod- 
o-gen. Great quantities of Nod-o-gen are used 
each season to inoculate the seed for Canada Field 
Peas. 
Tobacco Seed 
Lancaster County Red Rose 
Seed Leaf Type. Best for size, weight 
and quality. Does not easily shoot in dry 
weather. Fewer suckers than other va¬ 
rieties. Stands up well and is a profitable 
sort to grow. 
Sprout seed and sow in hot bed early 
in April. Plants, when developed, should 
be transplanted in rows about 32 inches 
apart and 24 inches on the row. 
x /z ounce will sow 200 to 250 square 
feet.
