WHOLESALE AND RETAIL SEEDS FOR THE SOUTH, 
ROBINSON’S CODE 
Sandersville, Ga. 
JUNE 3rd, 1938. 
In view of the fact that the CHARLEE and PALMETTO Soy¬ 
beans are the best bet for a money crop this season on land that 
was taken out of the production of cotton, we^ have had a g 004 
demand and have shipped our stock down conai^ahly. . 
From the start it was our intention tiJ distribut^-these beans 
over a wide territory in order to get them staHed and infeoduced. 
They are without question the two best varieties yet tried in the 
Southern territory for both hay and seed yield ^^d^land builders, 
and have been selected and accepted as such by one of the. foremost 
members of the American Soybean Association. 
Since our stock is now so low and in view of the fact it is our 
wish to distribute them well all over the Southern States, we wish 
to ask our customers to restrict their orders to not over 10 bushels 
of each. As long as our stock lasts we will ship F,03. here No. ^ 
power recleaned stock which tested both 98 per cent purity and 
germination, as follows: 
CHARLEES $3.85 Bushel. 
PALMETTOS $3.85 Bushel. 
Below, we give statistics one time offered before. Note how both 
seed and hay yields compare with other varieties. We would be 
pleased for you to test the CHARLEE and PALMETTO with other 
varieties on your own farms. 
Test for efeht years carried on by U, S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture on test plots near Monetta, S. C., shows the CHARLEE average 
yield to be 16.1 bushels per acre, rangtog from 11 to 22 bushels every 
year per acre. 
On the same plots and for six years t^ under same supervision, 
the PALMETTO average yield was 16.8 bushels per acre, ranging 
from 12.8 to 20.7 bushels per acre. 
Under same conditions and supervision, the average yield on 
Biloxis were 10.2 bushels per acre; Otootans 9.8 bushels per acre, and 
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. B. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture on test plots near Monetta, S. for green 
weights shown 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 jbo 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 fanner in this 
county that has tried these beans is carried away with results. We 
are gratified in offermg these to our customers, our only regret is 
that seed supply is limited. 
Yours very truly, 
MURPHY & PALMER
