MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEED

Beans) — While the seed of this variety is much 
smaller than the regular Broad Windsor, or Fava 
Beans, their growth is ranker and they have a more 
stooling habit. For cover crop purposes they rank 
among the best as they give a very heavy tonnage 
of coarse green material which is desirable, especially 
in heavy or very light soils. Sow preferably in the 
fall, either drilled or broadcast. Forty pounds per 
acre drilled. Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.50.
