Peanuts, Field Beans and Peas, Mangels 
PEANUTS can be successfully grown in 
almost any place where corn succeeds, 
but thrive best on light sandy soil. The 
vines are valuable feed for horses, cat¬ 
tle, and sheep. One acre will produce 
from 1 to 8 tons of vines. As nuts are 
relished by nearly everyone, it might be 
quite a happy experience to grow at 
least a small plot for home consumption. 
We will be able to supply Improved 
Large Virginias and also Spanish varie¬ 
ties. 
Prices: (Ige. pkg. 10c) Ob. 30c) (5 lbs. 
$1.35). 
Field of Soybeans 
SOYBEANS are annual legumes widely 
adapted to various soils and not difficult 
to grow, are excellent as a summer 
catch crop and splendid soil builders. 
Soybean hay is one of the best rough- 
ages, and when mixed with corn they 
make splendid ensilage. When harvested 
for seed, they should not be cut until 
pods are fully matured and the beans 
hard. They may be harvested by 
binder or combine. Sow 25 to 100 
pounds per acre depending on the size 
of seed, method of seeding, use of crop, 
and soil conditions. Soil should be kept 
mellow by frequent cultivation. 
Prices, not prepaid: (Ib. 20c) (5 lbs. 90c).

FRENCH GRAY PEAS. The highest grain 
yielding field pea at the Fort Lewis Sta¬ 
tion. The seed is medium sized, gray, 
spotted with purple. It is adapted to 
cooler sections of Colorado and shows 
a particular advantage in northeastern 
Colorado as a companion or nurse crop 
for alfalfa. 
COLORADO STOCK or SAN LUIS VALLEY 
FIELD PEAS are valuable for their grain 
and straw. They provide good forage and 
hay and are valuable as a soilage crop. 
They are also excellent as a nurse crop 
for Alfalfa. When sown for seed about 
80 pounds per acre is necessary, but for 
hay may be sown at the rate of 100 
pounds per acre and as late as July. 
Prices: (lb. 15c) (5 lbs. 50c) 
COWS PEAS are very useful for hay, fod¬ 
der, and soilage crops. They produce a 
long vine, usually 6 feet long, making a 
large yield of both hay and peas. We 
offer the early maturing varieties for 
planting in the West. These varieties 
are Whip-poor-will and New Era.

MANGELS 
THE MANGEL WURZEL. also called Man¬ 
gel, Stock Beet, Cattle Beet, and Field 
Beet, may be grown in almost any soil, 
but deep loams are necessary for heavy 
yields of the long varieties. When well 
grown the roots give an immense yield 
of very valuable food for stock. Plant 
early in spring in drills 2 to 2 V 2 feet 
apart, and about Vz inch apart in the 
row, covering with about 1 Vz inches of 
fine soil firmly pressed down. Culti¬ 
vate frequently. When about 3 inches 
high begin thinning and continue at in¬ 
tervals until the roots stand about 10 
inches apart. 
Prices: (lb. 50c) (5 lbs. $2.25) (10 lbs. 
$4.00)
