E 
PARLY PREEN SOJA BEAN 
variety produces enormous crops ac far north as 
Canada, and will ripen its seeds even in Massachusetts. It 
jrows about 4 ft. high and yields ten to twenty tons of green 
odder per acre, or 20 to 40 bushels of Beans. 
It is a valuable leguminous plant for the farmer and dairy¬ 
man for either green or cured fodder or grain. It is especially 
valuable for ensilage in combination with fodder corn or 
Japanese Millet, thus furnishing a complete balanced ration 
with an agreeable aromatic flavor, and is greedily relished by 
cattle. It increases the milk and butter and fattens the 
stock. The grain is also exceedingly nutritious, ranking, 
when ground, even higher than cotton seed or linseed meal 
for feeding cattle, hogs and other stock. 3 lbs. of Soja Bean 
meal added to the grain ration of milch cows produces a rich 
milk. 
Soja Beans are great soil enrichers, adding humus and fix¬ 
ing nitrogen from the air. The seed may be planted as soon 
as the soil is warm—a little later than corn— in rows 30 
inches apart, 6 to 8 seeds to the foot, requiring 3 pecks per 
acre. . (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
This grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, 
has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this coun¬ 
try. It is of strong, branching growth, stands up well and 
produces from two to four times as much grain as any 
other variety under same conditions. It is also fully a 
week earlier. The seed of our Japanese variety is nearly 
ns large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 
finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all 
other sorts where known. . 
The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports 
that it has grown Henderson’s New Japanese Buck¬ 
wheat for two years and has found it superior to the old 
varieties in several important respects. “It is larger and 
stronger, and stands up better during storms, and its 
seeds are larger, but what places it far ahead of other 
varieties is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in 
dry, hot weather. It can also be sown much earlier 
than other varieties, thus avoiding loss by early frost.” 
Henderson’s Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from 
the largest Japanese type imported each year by us for 
stock seed, and is therefore immensely superior to that 
grown here for several seasons,whereby it has deteriorated. 
Price, 50c. pk., $1.40 bush.; 10 bush., @ $1.30 bush.

The U. S* Department of Agriculture, 
For improving the yield, health and vigor of Beans, 
Peas, Alfalfa, Clovers, etc., and the fixation of Nitro¬ 
gen in the soil for future crops. To those who 
desire to make the experiment we will mail our

Field Corn 
see page 62. 
HENDERSON’S EUREKA Y E“£ W CORN 
This is the finest and most productive field corn grown; it is 
a tremendous yielder—150 busnels of shelled corn per acre is not 
unusual. The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion 
of them bearing two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very 
handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches long, with small red cob 
covered full, and over both butt and tip ends, with 18 to 22 even 
rows of large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow color. It is 
fairly early for so large a dent corn, but, of course, does not 
mature as quickly as the small early dent and flint varieties, but 
where 100 to 110 days of “corn weather” are assured, it is the 
corn to grow. It gives unqualified satisfaction from Connecticut 
to Ohio and South, but north of that latitude w*e do not advise 
planting it unless in favored localities. 
Price, 20c. qt., 65c. pk., $2.25 bush.; 10 bush., @ $2.15 bush. 
Wood’s Northern White Dent. The earliest, large, white Dent 
Corn. Vastly superior in every respect to the Flint and small 
Dent varieties. Will ripen in New York State, except in 
that portion north of Rochester and Troy. 
Price, 20c. qt., 75c. pk., $2.75 bush.; 10 bush., @ $2.65 bush.

JAPANESE MILLET 
A very distinct variety that is particularly valuable in 
the Northern States as a quick-growing forage and en¬ 
silage crop, attaining a height, in good soil, of 6 to 8 feet 
and yielding from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. 
For feeding green, it may be cut from day to day as 
needed until the seed begins to ripen. During this period 
it is much relished by stock; cattle especially consume it 
without waste before touching green fodder corn, and 
cows fed on it invariably increase in milk. For dried 
fodder, it should be cut in the blossom stage; it averages 
6 tons of cured fodder per acre, and while coarser than hay, 
it is freely eaten by stock and is often preferred by horses 
to Timothy and Clover hay; when sown early, it produces 
a fair second cutting. For ensilage, two parts of the 
Millet in combination with one part Soja Beans forage, 
forms a complete balanced ration that, may be fed, with¬ 
out grain, even to milch cows. Sow from May to July, 
15 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or if in drills, 12 to 
18 inches apart, use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre; the latter 
method is preferable so the crop may be cultivated, until 
it gets ahead of the weeds. Price, 10c. lb.; 10 lbs., 
90c.; 100 lbs.. $7.50.
