SOY BEANS FOR OIL, FLOUR, HAY & SOIL- BUILDING 





























NICHOLSON’S SOY BEANS 
INOCULATE SOY BEANS WITH NITRAGIN “S” 
The early new varieties of Yellow Soy Beans, such as Macoupin and Arksoy, will 
prove well adapted to growing in the Southwest. Results obtained in Texas were much 
more satisfactory than on other older varieties of oil type beans. We recommend these two 
kinds as being worthy of a trial. The future of these two beans in the Southwest is great, 
the crops can be sold to oil mills for crushing purposes, making an excellent cash crop. 
Soy Beans of all varieties make a wonderful hay crop, but we recommend the Laredo 
and Red Tanner when planted for hay purposes. Give Soy Beans a trial this year. (See 
garden seed section for edible Soy Beans.) 
PLANT—the yellow varieties for crushing at the rate of 3 pecks per acre, in 38-inch 
rows. On the smaller size hay beans, such as Laredo and Tanner, a bushel will plant 3 
acres. 
Arksoy 
The best medium-early variety for crushing 
purposes, with a very high oil content. A heavy 
producer. Erect in growth, making them easy 
to combine. Non-shattering qualities about the 
same as other yellow sorts. This bean did very 
well in Texas in 1941. Matures in 135 days. 
Price, lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please ask 
for prices in larger lots. 
Macoupin 
The earliest maturing yellow bean ever to 
be grown in the Southwest. An ideal variety 
to plant when you want to follow up with a 
winter grain crop. This bean is slow to shatter 
and the oil content is higher than any other 
Southern yellow variety, testing 21.53 per cent. 
In our opinion this is the crushing bean for 
which the South has been waiting for some 
years. We strongly recommend Macoupin as 
the best, mainly for its earliness. Matures in 
110 days. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please 
write for prices in larger lots. 
Edible Soy Beans 
Please see Garden Seed section, listed with 
garden beans. See page 6 
Mamloxi 
(Mammoth Yellow) 
A large yellow bean, slow to shatter and is 
very prolific where adapted. One of the pop- 
ular crushing sorts. The plant is very erect 
and bushy. Matures in 140 days. Price, lb., 25c; 
2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please ask for prices in 
larger lots. 
Laredo 
One of the best adapted and most popular 
hay varieties. A very small black bean, me- 
dium early in maturity but shatters and there- 
fore must be harvested when ready. Matures in 
135 days. Price, lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
Red Tanner 
A dandy hay variety, the seed are reddish in 
color, about the same size as the Laredo and 
will produce as much fine hay and more seed 
than the Laredo. The bean is tough, therefore 
suffering very little loss in threshing and clean- 
ing. Matures in 135 days. Price, lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
ie postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger 
ots. 
We handle Soy Beans in car lots. Please ask for prices in large lots, advising quantity you 
expect to use. 

Mung Beans 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E” 
An exceptionally good hay crop and a won- 
derful soil improver and very drought resistant. 
We have enjoyed an increased demand for 
Mung Beans for sprouting purposes, as the 
sprouts are used extensively in preparation of 
numerous Chinese dishes. Previous to the war, 
the sprouts were imported from the Orient. 
Chinese restaurants in this country are now 
producing sprouts for their own use. About 5 
pounds will plant an acre. Best results are 
obtained when planted in 214- to 3-foot rows, 4 
to 5 inches in the drill. Lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 45c, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
A FIELD OF HAIRY WINTER VETCH IN BLOOM 
Velvet Beans 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN "E” 
Velvet Beans make a greater growth of vines 
than any other known forage plant in the same 
length of time. They should be planted in rows 
3 to 5 feet apart, at the rate of one-half bushel 
to three pecks per acre. They are also fine for 
planting in corn. These Beans make wonderful 
grazing for all kinds of stock, and even after 
frost has killed the vines, stock will eat vines 
and beans and fatten on them. Such vines and 
roots as are left by stock should be plowed 
under, as they are very rich in fertilizing value. 
EARLY SPECKLED OR 166-DAY VINING VA- 
RIETY. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
Vetch 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “C” 
Vetch is another splendid forage plant. It is 
very hardy, is valuable as a winter cover crop 
to prevent leaching and for forage and turn 
under purposes. This annual legume has been 
growing greatly in favor with the farmers and 
dairymen of the South. We strongly recommend 
the planting of this wonderful soil-building 
plant. 
HAIRY WINTER VETCH (Vicia Villosa). This 
most popular variety is partly misnamed, as a 
large portion of the plants produced are smooth 
instead of hairy. May be sown either in spring 
or fall. When sown in spring it is ready to be 
cut by July. Sow 50 to 60 pounds of Vetch with 
the same amount of oats, using the oats to sup- 
port the Vetch. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $3.00. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 
COMMON VETCH (Vicia Sativa). About the 
same as Hairy Vetch except not quite so hardy. 
Sow in spring as well as fall. Lb., 25; 2 lbs., 
40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities. 
NOTICE 
We carry in stock other varieties of Vetch 
during the fall of the year. Please write for our 
Fall Catalog—ready September lst.
