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 (Macoupin). (110 to 115 days) 
The earliest maturing yellow bean ever to 
be grown in the South. In Arkansas last 
year the harvest started the fourth week in 
August, and was completed in early Septem- 
ber. This is an ideal variety to plant when 
you want to follow up with winter grain 
crops on the same land. The non-shattering 
quality of this bean is equal to any of our 
early yellow Soy Beans, and the oil content 
higher. 
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.

SEEDSMAN AND FLORIST, FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS 
MUNG BEANS. Grow on upright bushes 
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. 
SEED PEANUTS 
CULTURE. Plant in May or early in June 
in rows 3% feet apart, dropping two ker- 
nels to the hill, hills about one foot apart. 
Cover one to two inches deep. 25 to 30 lbs. 
of unhulled peanuts will plant an acre. 
Crack or break the hull before planting. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. While not as large 
as other varieties they will produce more 
peanuts and hay than any other variety and 
are the most commonly grown in the cen- 
tral west. For prices refer to green list. 
TENNESSEE RED PEANUTS. Similar to 
Spanish in the way the nuts are closely 
packed in the pod, but the pods are longer, 
usually containing 3 nuts and sometimes 
four; a very productive variety; mild, sweet 
flavor. For prices refer to green list. 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. More largely grown 
than any other Cow Pea, probably because 
of its long vines, usually about six feet, and 
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. 
LADY PEAS. A fine small, white table 
pea of excellent flavor. 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; produces many pods 
crowded full of peas.
