FORREST’S HONEST- SEEDS 
SOJA BEAN 
Also Known as German Coffee 
It is a valuable fodder variety, either for feed- 
ing green or for the silo. Being a rich nitrog¬ 
enous food, it is unsurpassed as a i flesh former, 
and, like the clovers, is a soil improver, deriving 
its nitrogen from the air. Honest pkt. 5c, lb.20c, 
3 lbs. 50c, postpaid; express or freight, qt. 15c, 
pk. 75c, bu. of 60 tbs. $2.25. 
Medium Early Green—This variety ripens 
in Northern New York and the New England 
States, where it has been grown over 5 feet in 
height, heavily podded with seed, and yielded 
over ten tons per acre. Very branching, dense 
rank growth, and foliage leaves from 3 to 5 inches 
in diameter. Beans small to medium and green 
all the way through. One of the best for soiling 
and ensilage. We recommend it very highly, 
and wish every farmer would at least give this 
variety a trial. Honest pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 tbs. 
60c, postpaid; express or freight, pk. $1.25, bu. 
of 60 lbs. $4.00. 
The Velvet Bean—The great soil restorer, 
fast becoming a worthy rival of the Cow Pea. It is 
the rankest grower of any of the legumes. At the 
South they make vines from 30 to 40 feet; at the North 
from 10 to 13 feet. Honest pkt. 5c, lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c. 
postpaid; by express or freight, pk. 80c, bu. $3.50. 
Dwarf Essex Rape—This valuable foliage plant is 
fast coming into favor with sheep farmers in this coun¬ 
try on account of its rapid growth, being ready to feed 
in six weeks from time of sowing. It can be sown all 
through the season, being perfectly hardy, withstands 
drought, and will produce a crop in any soil by sowing 
broadcast or in drills. It makes a particularly valuable 
seed for sheep and hogs when sown with turnips in July 
and August. Sow 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. Honest pkt. 
5c, lb. 20c, postpaid; by express or freight, 50 lbs. $3.25, 
100 lbs. $6.00. 
Teosinte—Recommended as the most prolific for¬ 
age plant. Appearance somewhat resembles corn, but 
the leaves are much longer and broader. It can be cut 
several times during the season, yielding enormously. 
It will attain a height of twelve to fifteen feet. One 
seed will sometimes produce from twenty to sixty stalks 
or shoots. The warmer the climate, the better it 
yields. Requires about four pounds of seed to the acre. 
Plant in drills three feet apart, and two or three seeds 
•every twelve inches in drill. Honest pkt. 5c, oz. 8c, lb. 50c, postpaid.
