Special Special Special 
PALMETTO and CHARLEE SOYBEANS 
As a supplement to our regrular Seed Price-List we will offer to 
our customers two new varieties of SOYBEANS which we believe are 
the best all round Soybeans yet offered to the American trade. While 
our stocks are somewhat limited, we will offer these in No. 1 grade, 
power recleaned and packed in even weight bags r.O.B. this point 
as follows: 
Palmetto _ $4.00 per Bu. 
Charlee _ $4.00 Bu. 
Test for eight years carried on by U. S. Jpei^rtip6nt.jif Agricul¬ 
ture on test plots near Monetta, S. C., show/ the ^RARLE;^ average 
yield to be 16.1 bushels per acre, ranging fr^ ll"^^ bushels every 
year per acre. / 
On the same plots and for six years ^st same^feTOe/visfon* 
the PALMETTO average yield was 16.8 u»si^;^Rj^acr^ 4'k.^ging 
from 12.8 to 20.7 bushels per acre. j ^ ^ 
Under same conditions and supervision, the averag^*’'« 5 {igld ^ 
Biloxis were 10.2 bushels per acre; Otootans 9.8 bushels per acre, 
Laredos 9.3 bushels per acre. ^ 
As a bean for making hay, we believe the Palmetto and Charlee 
to be unsurpassed, test conducted under supervision of U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture on test plots near Monetta, S. C., for green 
weights shows 5 years average for Palmetto 7.5 tons per acre; Charlee 
7.2 tons; Biloxis 5.1 tons; Laredos 4.2 tons; Otootans 5.2 tons per acre. 
Both varieties are earlier than the Otootan, but since the Charlee 
is about 10 days later than the Palmetto, we would suggest planting 
half of the crop in each, hence all of the hay crop would not have 
to be harvested at one time. 
Other features in favor of the CHARLEE and PALMETTO Soy¬ 
beans is that a bushel of seed will plant as much as a bushel of 
Otootans, one bushel being plenty to seed three acres for hay. We 
have testimonials to the fact that crops planted after these beans 
will grow off faster and make more than if planted after other 
varieties. 
One special great feature is that for five years in our own county 
here, the worms have failed to eat these beans, but have completely 
ruined Otootans planted on same plantation. The quality of hay is 
excellent, stock will eat it clean even the stems. Every farmer in this 
county that has tried these beans is carried away with results. We 
are gratified in offering these to our customers, our only regret is 
that seed supply is limited. 
Yours very truly,
