gives a better yield than the common run of Navy Beans. The last 
of June or in July plant in rows 3 feet apart, dropping 2 or 3 beans 
a foot apart in the rows. Cultivate early, but not while the dew 
Is on the foliage, nor after they begin to blossom, and do not

VELVET BEANS 
100-Day or Speckled Velvet Beans 
—Although it will not mature the pods In 
100 days, this is one of the earliest varie¬ 
ties and can be grown farther north than 
the common velvet beans. South of Vir¬ 
ginia they will mature in a season of 
average length. In more northerly sec¬ 
tions, where the seeds will not mature, it 
will make a wonderful growth of vines 
for pasturing and finishing cattle, and a 
fine soil improver. By mail postpaid^

Osceola Velvet Beans —The Osceola 
has given ex¬ 
cellent results as a forage crop in Vir¬ 
ginia, where we have found it to make 
fully as much growth of vine as the 
Early Speckled or 100-Day, with pods 
larger and farther advanced in the same 
i length of time. It also has the advan- 
1 tage of being free from the itching furze.

Velvet Beans 
The South^s Wonderful 
Forage and SoilImprovingCrop 
Velvet beans make an enormous growth, 
larger than any other known forage plant. 
As a soil-improver they are considered su¬ 
perior to cowpeas, making much larger 
growth and foliage. 
Makes Nutritious Fall and Winter Graz¬ 
ing —In the South, velvet beans are used 
very largely for winter grazing. They 
should be allowed to grow until killed by 
fiost, after which they can be grazed 
through the winter, as the vines, leaves 
and pods decay very slowly and remain 
palatalile a long time. 
Velvet lieans are usually grown with 
corn. The corn is planted in 5-foot rows, 3 
feet apart in the row, and the beans plant¬ 
ed between the corn. At the last working, 
beans are planted again in the middles be¬ 
tween the rows of corn. When the corn is 
dry it is pulled from the stalk and cattle 
turned in to graze. 20 pounds will plant 
an acre in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart in the 
row.
