SOY BEANS 
SOY BEANS (Brown Biloxi). (150 to 160 
days). An upright variety, growing 4 to 5 
feet high, covered with a dense mass of 
foliage which does not shed easily. A heavy 
yielder of beans. The oil and protein are 
high. The pods are less liable to pop than 
most varieties. In drills it requires three 
pecks per acre, in 38-inch rows. Planted in 
corn a bushel will plant six to seven acres. 
Broadcast for hay, one to one and one-half 
bushels per acre. 
SOY BEANS (White Biloxi). (150 to 165 
days). A selection from the Biloxi. A white 
bean with a dark brown eye. Has the good 
qualities of the chocolate Biloxi but heavier 
grain and hay yielder. The nearest non- 
shattering white bean that has ever been 
grown in the South. Makes fine winter 
pasture for cattle, mules, and hogs. One 
of the best for crushing, being very high 
in protein and oil contents. For quantities 
required to plant an acre, refer to Brown 
Biloxi above. 
SOY BEANS (Laredo). (120 to 130 days). 
One of the best hay varieties, producing hay 
of fine quality—can be planted earlier than 
any other Soy Bean. Seeds small and black. 
When planting for seed one bushel of La- 
redos plant three acres in 38-inch rows. 
When planting for hay, three to five pecks 
per acre should be planted broadcast, de¬ 
pending on the richness of the soil. 
For Prices Refer To Green List Enclosed. 
MUNG BEANS. Grow in upright bush 
from 2 to 4 feet high and mature in 70 to 
90 days. They have very heavy foliage, 
fine leaves and finer stems than any soy 
beans. The hay cures quickly and may be 
threshed in 2 to 4 days after cutting, and 
it retains all the leaves. The hay is regard¬ 
ed as equal to alfalfa and readily eaten by 
all livestock. Harvest when majority of 
pods turn black. Mung beans are a great 
soil builder when properly inoculated. Sow 
5 lbs. per acre in drills. 
VETCH, HAIRY OR WINTER. A Nitro¬ 
gen gatherer and soil improver. One of 
our best winter legumes and green manure 
crops. So resistant to cold, adapted to a 
wide range of soils and can be made to 
reseed itself. For grazing or cover crops 
sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre with any of 
the fall grains. For soil improvement and 
when seeded alone sow 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. For spring planting in combination 
with oats, sow at the rate of 10 pounds per 
acre. Produces hay equal to timothy and 
clover. 
VETCH, HUNGARIAN OR SPRING. Cul¬ 
ture same as Hairy Vetch. Usually sown 
in spring. Very productive and a soil build¬ 
er. When sown with oats produces very 
nutritious hay. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS. Sown for the 
same purpose as Vetch in September and 
October, but is not as winter resistant. 
Sow 25 pounds per acre, broadcast with 
grain. 
cow PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. The whippoorwill is 
more largely grown than any other Cow 
Pea, probably because of its long vines, 
usually about six feet, and because of its 
large yield. 
LARGE BLACK EYE. The Black Eye 
Stock Peas commonly grown in this vicin¬ 
ity are used mostly for cooking and table 
use. They have an excellent flavor and 
command ready sale in all stores. 
LADY PEAS. A fine small, white table 
pea of excellent flavor. A strong-growing, 
prolific pea that is much in demand for 
table use. 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER. An early- 
maturing table pea of excellent flavor. Me¬ 
dium size white pea with pronounced flat¬ 
tened end. Their rich sugar flavor makes 
them a great favorite. 
BROWN SUGAR CROWDER. Considered 
by many to be the best eating table pea, 
and always in demand. As the name would 
indicate, it is of brown color, produces many 
pods crowded full of peas.
