Virginia (Maturity 125 Days) —On account of its abundant 
’**=* " growth and large yield of beans, the Virginia makes 
most excellent hay and ensilage. As it is about 20 days earlier 
than Mammoth Yellow, it can be grown further north and 
throughout the corn belt. The vines make a fine growth, are 
filled with pods, stand about 3 feet high, are easy to cut and easy 
to cure. The stems being fine and the leafage profuse, adapts it 
particularly well for hay-making. One of the experiment sta¬ 
tions calls Virginia the best all-round variety, and recommends 
it for all sections that will mature Boone County and the large 
white cap varieties of corn. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 70c; peck 
$1.15; V 2 bushel $1.90; bushel $3.35. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 70c; y 2 bushel $1.15; bushel $2.00;

Wilcnn Farlv Rlark (Maturity 120 Days) —A very prolific *rari- 
wnson nariy macK^ ty and G ' e of where a ‘ qu i C k, early 
variety is desired. Average height on good land is about 3 feet. 
The Delaware State Experiment Station recommends the Wilson 
Black as ahead of any as a combination hay and seed variety. 
It stands up well, makes pods a good distance from the ground, 
and retains its seed. Its fine stem enables it to cure quickly. Its 
tall growth and absence of lower branches makes it one of the 
easiest to harvest. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 70c; peck $1.15;

Mammnfli Ypllow (Maturity 145 Days) —One of the most ex 
IViammoin I enow tensively grown f 0r both beans and forage, 
both of which it yields in great abundance. It grows more than 
3 feet high, is erect in growth and can be cut with a mower. 
Particularly valuable for Virginia and further south for both 
beans and forage. Mammoth Yellow is one of the largest grow¬ 
ers among soy beans and excels in yield of bean hay. By mail 
postpaid, y 2 peck 65c; peck $1.05; y 2 bushel $1.75; bushel $3.10.

. (Maturity 170 days) —Few soy beans can equal Otoo- 
Utootan t an as a hay-maker. Its late maturity is more than 
overcome by the abundant growth, five feet and more in long 
seasons, its fine stems and abundant Yoliage. and the fine texture 
of its hay. It differs from mos't varieties in having many leafy 
branches instead of a coarse central stem, making it easy to cut. 
Recommended for sections with a long growing season. By mail

WOOD’S YELLOW SOY BEANS 
“Outstanding Record Yielding Variety” 
This new variety we introduced two years ago has more than 
met all of our claims as a bean producer. Large acreages in Vir¬ 
ginia and the Carolinas have averaged 25 to 30 bushels and more 
per acre, and one crop on good land produced as high as 45 bushels 
per acre. As a cash bean crop it has no equal, and we believe 
Wood’s Yellow Soy Beans will be the outstanding soy bean for 
many years to come. 
The highlights of this new wonder bean are summed up in the 
following remarks as told by Mr. W. M. Daughtridge of Edgecombe 
County, X. C., who has been growing Wood’s Yellows for two 
years: “They stand up without lodging, when Tokios and other 
varieties fall over. Vines are filled with beans from about 2% 
inches on up to the top of vine, 4 to 4% feet tall. Will not shatter 
or damage even if not harvested until winter, while Mammoth 
Yellows would be all lost by shattering. Strong, erect growing 
plant and ideally adapted to harvesting with combine or any other 
machinery.” 
Since the introduction of Wood’s Yellow Soy Bean they have 
been found to be completely disease resistant and can be planted 
year after year on the same land. A good hay bean, full of foliage 
with large vine growth, and easily cut. A more profitable crop to 
grow than corn, easier to cultivate and harvest, and leaves the 
land in excellent shape. Matures in about 140 days. Plant 3 pecks 
to a bushel to the acre in drills 3% feet apart. By mail postpaid, 
y 2 peck 70c; peck $1.15; y 2 bushel $1.95; bushel $3.45. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 70c; y 2 bushel $1.20; bushel $2.10; 
5-bnsliel lots and over $2.00 per bushel. 
CAUTION —Owing to the similarity in appearance to the Mam¬ 
moth Yellow,, secure your seed only from the originators. Due to 
the growing popularity of Wood’s Yellow Beans we advise early 
orders.

INOCULATE SOY BEANS 
When you inoculate you increase the nitrogen in your soil 
at a trifling cost compared with the cost of fertilizer. 
Laredo Genuine Southern Grown. (Maturity 140 Days) —A bean 
of outstanding worth, particularly for making hay. It 
has many slender branches and the plants are leafy, both of 
which go to make an ideal hay. As a fine quality hay-maker it 
stands second to none. In a six-year test it averaged iy 2 tons 
to the acre. It is medium in maturity, is a good yielder of beans, 
and has an advantage over many other varieties in that they do 
not shatter. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 85c; peck $1.45; y 2 bushel 
$2.55; bushel $4.60. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 60c; peck $1.00; y 2 bushel $1.80; bushel 
$3.25; 5-bushel lots and over $3.15 per bushel. 
Tokio (Maturity 145 Days) —The heaviest combined yielder of 
both hay and seed. A very thrifty grower and does not 
react unfavorably to adverse weather conditions. It does not 
have the large, woody stalk that the Mammoth Yellow and Tar¬ 
heel have, upright in growth, making it easy to cut for hay or 
harvest the seed with a combine. The foliage is heavy and stays 
on the stalk much better when cured for hay than most other 
varieties. Tokio is an outstanding hay and bean producer, and 
we cannot recommend it too highly. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 
60c; peck $1.00; y 2 bushel $1.65; bushel $2.95. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 35c; peck 55c; y 2 bushel 90c; bushel $1.60; 
5-bushel lots and over $1.50 per bushel. 
Mammoth Brown (Maturity 135 days) —Makes a large up- 
mammoin Drown rjght growth; standing 3 feet or more, with 
plenty of foliage and an abundance of pods. It is a good hay 
bean, is a prolific yielder of beans, robust and is more disease- 
resistant than most varieties. Probably no variety is so well 
suited for planting with cowpeas, as they mature nearly to¬ 
gether. It is characteristic of Mammoth Brown, and an advan¬ 
tage as well, that the beans remain in the pod long after matur¬ 
ity. They are especially fine for late hog pasture. By mail post¬ 
paid, y 2 peck 70c; peck $1.10; y 2 bushel $1.80; bushel $3.20. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 65c; y 2 bushel $1.05; bushel $1.85; 
5-bushel lots and over $1.75 per bushel. 
Tar Rlarlr (Maturity 140 days) —About five days earlier 
I <11 ncciuiam than Mammcth Yellow and makes almost as 
tall a growth. The vines stand upright, are not coarse and are 
well filled with pods. Fully equal to any medium early variety 
for hay and seed production. Makes a growth of 3% to 4 feet; 
branches close to the ground: has medium thick stalk and abun¬ 
dant foliage. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 70c; peck $1.10; y 2 bushel 
$1.80; bushel $3.20. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 65c; y 2 bushel $ 1 . 05 ; bushel $1.85; 
5-bushel lots and over $1.75 per bushel.
