Laredo Soy Beans 
SOY, OR SOJA BEANS 
All Prices Below Post Paid Through Third Zone 
CULTURE—Soy Beans may be planted either broadcast or in rows. 
Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and cultivated, 
and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better condition for the 
following crop. They grow equally well on light and heavy soils, 
but on heavy soils they should not be planted more than 1 to 1% 
inches deep except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant deeper, 
but not more than 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast sow 1 to 
1% bushels to the acre, in rows % to % bushel per acre. Plant in 
April, May, June or July. 
1225—LAREDO SOUTHERN (Hay, 110 days; Seed, 135 days) 
—Recognized as one of the best hay and soil building beans 
for the Central South. Seed small, bushel plants 4 to 6 acres 
in 2 foot rows; 1 acre broadcast. Cover about 1 inch. Since 
it will endure more cold, adverse weather than any other 
variety, it can be planted much earlier. Can be drilled in fall 
planted oats about April 1 with no injury to oats and by cut- 
ting oats high secure two crops on same land in one year. 
Growth is upright, branching freely; hay quality excellent. 
Price—5 lIbs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1224—BILOXI (Hay, 135 days; Seed, 165 days)—An upright 
variety, growing 4 to 5 feet high, covered with a dense mass 
of foliage that does not shed easily. A heavy yielder of 
beans; feeding value excellent because high in protein; a 
fine bean for hogging down, for planting with corn or sor- 
ghum. The pods are less liable to pop than most varieties; 
in fact, they hardly shatter at all. They require a long sea- 
son to mature, but make a tremendous yield of hay or beans. 
Price—5 Ibs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1226—OTOOTAN (Hay, 140 days, Seed, 170 days)—-Few Soy 
Beans can equal Otootan as a hay maker. Its late maturity 
is more than overcome by the abundant growth, its fine 
stems and abundant foliage, and the fine texture of its hay, 
which cures quickly. It differs from most varieties in having 
many leafy branches instead of a coarse central stem, making 
it easy to cut and easy to cure. Planted in 3-foot rows, they 
will cover the land with a mass of foliage. 
Price—5 lIbs., 75c; 10 lIbs., $1.25; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.75 
1218—ARKSOY (Hay, 100 days; Seed, 120 days)—An excel- 
lent all purpose bean. Yields fairly heavy of good quality 
hay. Seems to mature more quickly when planted late than 
any other bean. Yield of beans is heavy and oil content is 
almost equal to Macoupin. Can be planted after oat harvest 
for hay or bean crop. 
Price—5 Ibs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60

1219—RED TANNER (Hay, 115 days; Seed, 140 days) —A 
comparatively new bean, but it gives more promise as a hay 
bean than any introduced since the Southern Laredo. Pro- 
duces as much or more hay than Laredo, of even superior 
quality. Stock seem to relish some soy bean hay more than 
others and they will leave hay of other beans to get the Red 
Tanner, cleaning up stems and all. Truly it seems good to 
the last drop. Don’t fail to try some of this unusual bean. 
Price—5 Ibs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.25; 1 pk. (15 lbs.), $1.75 
1233—MACOUPIN (Hay, 80 days; Seed, 100 days)—No doubt 
the finest oil mill bean developed to date. Early maturing; 
harvest frequently starts last of August if planted early. 
Seed yield very heavy, 25 to 35 bushels per acre. Extremely 
non-shattering and ranks first in oil percentage. Will mature 
a full crop of beans when planted after early oats are har- 
vested. Produces hay of fair quality. 
Price—5 lbs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1220—ARKSORY 2913 (Hay 100 days; Seed, 120 days)—An 
improved strain of the regular Arksoy Bean. On good land it 
yields consistently 30 to 40 bu. per acre. Will probably stand 
longer without shattering than any other bean. The most at- 
tractive characteristic of this bean is that all plants mature 
at the same time. 
Price—5 Ibs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.25; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.75 
1230—VIRGINIA (Hay, 100 days; Seed, 125 days) —On account 
of its abundant growth and early maturity the Virginia 
makes a most excellent hay bean. 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 leaf- 
age profuse, adapts it particularly well for hay making. 
Price—5 lIbs., 65c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.50 
1232—TOKYO (Hay, 120 days; Seed, 145 days)—-A heavy pro- 
ducer of extra large pods and beans. It is a superior oil bean 
and for hogging down. Holds its foliage and beans well; has 
a medium coarse stem, branching from the ground. 
Price—5 Ibs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1223—MAMMOTH BROWN (Hay, 115 days; Seed, 140 days) — 
Makes a large upright growth, with plenty of foliage and an 
abundance of pods. Is a prolific yielder of beans, robust and 
is more disease-resistant than most varieties. Does not shat- 
ter badly. They are especially fine for late hog pasture. 
Price—5 lIbs., 70c; 10 ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 lbs.), $1.60 
1221—DELSTA (Hay, 120 days; Seed, 145 days)—A yellow 
bean, grows erect, rather tall and bushy, splendid for plant- 
ing in corn. Very prolific, beans little larger than Mammoth 
Yellow, and seed remain in pods well into winter. Should 
replace Mammoth Yellow altogether. 
Price—5 Ibs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1231—MAMLOXI (Hay, 120 days; Seed, 145 days)—Is upright 
in growth and produces excellent hay if planted thick. A 
very prolific yielder of beans which shatter little and the best 
late maturing oil bean. Probably the best all purpose soy 
bean. 
Price—5 Ibs., 70c; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.60 
1229—MUNG BEANS—Should be planted in May for hay or 
turning under. Mung Beans are great soil builders and pro- 
duce a large quantity of excellent hay. They are very hardy 
and disease resistant. The seed are small and it takes 3 to 5 
pounds to drill an acre in 3-foot rows. Broadcast, 25 to 35 
pounds an acre. Beans mature in 90 to 100 days, depending 
on the season. 
Price—5 Ibs., 80c; 10 Ibs., $1.35; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.85 
1228—90-DAY OR SPECKLED VELVET BEANS—It is very 
prolific and can be planted later than other sorts on account 
of its early maturity. Velvet Beans make a greater growth 
of vines and beans than any other known forage plant in 
the same length of time, therefore, one of the best soil build- 
ing legumes. Excellent for grazing off green and cattle will 
fatten on them even after frost has killed vines. 
Price—5 Ibs., 60c; 10 Ibs., $1.00; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.40
