3 OUTSTANDING YELLOW VARIETIES 
EXTRA EARLY—EARLY—LATE 
Wood’s Yellow Soybeans are recommended by State 
Agricultural Extension Divisions as amongst the leading 
strains for Middle and South Atlantic States. They are 
rapidly replacing all other yellow varieties in these locali- 
ties, due to their dependable high yielding qualities. 
WOOD’S YELLOW (LATE) 
150 to 160 Days. Highly recommended for the coastal sec- 
tion of Virgjnia. North Carolina, all of South Carolina and 
Gulf states. This bean which we introduced 7 years ago has 
peen proclaimed a super soybean. Never have we introduced 
any soybean that has been so highly praised and has practically 
replaced the old favorite Mammoth Yellow; yields ranging from 
25 to 40 bushels per acre. Non-shattering even if harvesting

WOOD’S YELLOW 
120 to 125 days maturity. We 
consider this the most productive 
an | satisfactory variety for bean 
roduction in all of the coastal 
ates. Never since we introduced 
he late strain of Wood’s Yellow 
have we received so many favor- 
able reports from farmers in Vir- 
-ginia and North Carolina, claim- 
ing it the finest bean they have 
ee grown. Has every good char-

EXTRA EARLY 
WOOD’S YELLOW 
110 to 115 days maturity. An 
exceptionally early strain, par- 
ticularly adapted to the higher 
piedmont and mountain sections 
of all eastern states. For late 
planting in these localities it has 
few, if any, equals. In the south- 
ern coastal states plantings have 
been made as late as early July 
and reached full maturity before 
frost. One grower reports he 
early; upright in growth (height 
fsomdine) full.of pods from the 
_ ground up, averaging 185 pods 
per plant and some as high as 300 
with many plants having three 
3 beans to the pod; vigorous. 
eee owth: stands up well; and shat- 
_ ter proof. Several growers have 
left these beans in the field until 
_ Christmas and they did not shat- 
| ter at this late date. Also makes 
a fine quality hay, not so coarse 
as the later varieties. Has made 
outstanding yields in comparison 
to other varieties. 
FOR SEED PRODUCTION — 
Large size varieties, plant in 3% 
to 4 foot rows, three pecks to the 
acre—medium size varieties 2 
pecks per acre, and small size 1 to 
1% pecks in 36 to 40-inch rows 
and cultivate. When drilled, use 
two to three times the above 
quantities. 
FOR BEAN PRODUCTION—Un- 
s der the government program, yel-: 
low beans, which include Tokios, 
command a premium of 20c per 
Boasnei over colored beans.

_ Early and Extra Early Wood’s Yellow, Virginia Brown, Wilson 
Black, being: early maturing varieties, can all be harvested in 
- plenty of time for sowing small grain crops in Virginia. Wood’s 
_ Yellow and Tokio are rather late in maturing to put in grain except 
‘States farther south. 
ns —120 to 125 days of maturity. This medium early 
Haberlandt bean should be used to a much greater extent in 
the eastern states. It is far superior to the old Mammoth Yel- 
Ww from the standpoint of both bean and hay production. 
den —The green beans resemble Tokio but somewhat smaller. 
A heavy yielding non-shattering variety with heavy oil 
ontent. Yields last season from 30 to 50 bushels per acre were 
eported from North Carolina and Virginia. About 10 days 
arlier than Tokio. 
7 125 Days. The all-round bean for hay in Vir- 
irginia Brown ginia and the north. Fine stems; excellent 
quality hay. ; 
Wyte 125 Days. The most popular bean for the 
’ Wi Ison Early Black ‘mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, 
and the north. Growth similar to Virginia.

Laredo, which is not adapted to the South. 
EA SY COOK EDIBLE 135 Days. An edible soybean that 
ean be cooked in half the time of

planted Extra WHarlies the last 
week in June and they were ready 
to combine the 10th of October. 
They are ready to harvest ahead 
of the late Wood’s Yellows which 
were planted 50 days earlier’. 
Yields for the past.few years 
have been ranging from 25 to 40 
bushels per acre in practically all 
sections of the East. Makes a 
strong upright bushy growth 
about 8 feet high, and stalks lit- 
erally covered with beans from 
the ground up. Like our Early 
and Late strains of Wood’s Yel- 
low, it is exceptionally shatter 
proof. 
FOR HAY PRODUCTION — 
Broadeast or drill and cut the hay 
when in full bloom and until they 
begin forming beans in the pod. 
Finer quality hay is obtained 
when the plant is in full bloom. 
For hay, broadeast with wheat 
drill, 1% bushels of large and 1 
bushel of small seeded varieties 
per acre. Use 200 to 800 lbs. su- 
perphosphate or 0-14-6 fertilizer. 
LATE WOOD’S YELLOW AND TOKIO SOYBEANS 
In recent years these two varieties have been in tremendous de- 
mand from a food standpoint. Their popularity has increased not 
only in this country but abroad, and are preferred for this purpose 
over all other varieties grown in the U.S. A. On account of this 
increasing popularity, they are bringing a premium over all other 
yellow varieties and are profitable crops to grow.

MUNG BEANS The bean sprouts are used particularly 
by Chinese restaurants for making chop 
suey and other Chinese dishes. They are adapted to the same gen- 
eral area now occupied by the cowpea and will do well in most all 
sections of the South. Grows well on any type of soil, but best 
suited to warm sandy loams. Plant either in 3 to 3%-foot rows, or 
with grain drill from May to July. In rows plant 5 to 8 lbs. or in 
drills 15 to 25 lbs. By mail postpa;d, 1b. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.40; 25 lbs.
