FIELD 
SEEDS 
SOYBEANS are annual legumes widely adapted to 
various soils and not difficult to grow, are excel- 
lent 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 ma- 
tured and the beans hard. They may be har- 
vested 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 condi- 
tions. Soil should be kept mellow by frequent 
cultivation. Manchu and Illini are well recom- 
mended varieties. 
BANSEI EDIBLE SOYBEANS. A very early type, 
_ well adapted for short season areas. Ready for 
picking as green shelled beans in 100 to 96 
’ days. A fine home garden variety. Plants erect 
and of medium height. Pods yellow. Beans 
yellow, elliptical, of mild, pleasing flavor. 
Prices: (Ib. 35c) (5 lbs. $1.50) (10 Ibs. $2.50) not 
prepaid. 
GREAT NORTHERN BEANS. also called Large 
White Marrowfat, White Mexican, White Kidney, 
and Western White Wonder. Resemble the Pinto 
in size and shape. 
PINTO or MEXICAN BEANS are the leading com- 
mercial beans of the West. Pinto Beans will 
grow on dry land, yielding as high as 1,100 
pounds per acre. 
LITTLE NAVY, MICHIGAN ROBUST or PEA 
BEANS. The best known white bean in the 
world. 
SUNFLOWERS are a good silage crop for dry land. 
They may be sown earlier than corn as light 
frosts do not injure. The silage is very palatable 
and has high feeding value. Plant close in 
drills 4 to 5 inches apart, and rows 30 to 42 
inches apart. Cultivate and handle similar to 
corn. Five to six pounds per acre is sown. 
Prices not prepaid: (5 lbs. $1.25) (10 lbs. $2.25). 
FLAX may be grown with good success in the 
West. It matures quickly and may be planted 
as late as the middle of June and make a matured 
crop. Takes very little fertility and moisture from 
the soil and yields 10 to 20 bushels per acre. 
May be used with success as a nurse crop for 
clovers and grasses, and is the most desirable 
crop to follow on native sod. 
Price not prepaid: (lb. 15c) (5 Ibs. 70c). 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE is a forage plant of highest 
value. It can be sown in April for early crop 
and for fall crop in July, August, and September. 
It is used as a catch crop, also for summer pas- 
ture for hogs and cattle. 
Prices not prepaid: (Ib. 25c) (5 Ibs. $1.20). 
Small Grains 
CLEANED 
TESTED 
PEANUTS can be successfully grown in almost any 
place where corn succeeds, but thrive best on

for horses, cattle, and sheep. One acre will pro- 
duce from 1 to 8 tons of vines. We will be able 
to supply Improved Large Virginias and also 
Spanish varieties.

Mangels 
THE MANGEL WURZEL, also called Mangel, 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. Plant 
early in spring in drills 2 to 2¥2 feet apart, and 
about ¥% inch apart in the row, covering with 
about 1¥2 inches of fine soil firmly pressed 
down. Cultivate frequently. 
GIANT FEEDING or HALF SUGAR. 90 days. A 
very valuable variety for stock feeding on ac- 
count of its high sugar content. Yields are not 
so large as from Mangels, but the sugar content 
is higher. 
GOLDEN TANKARD. 90 days. A rapidly maturing 
Mangel adapted to shallow land, although doing 
well on every soil. Tankard shaped. Roots large; 
thick-oval, nearly cylindrical; light gray above, 
deep orange below ground. Flesh golden yellow 
zoned white and very sweet. 
DANISH SLUDSTRUP. Long reddish yellow; grows 
well above ground and is easy to pull. Flesh 
white with faint yellow tinge. Its uniform growth 
of large, well-shaped beets rich in saccharine, 
makes it very popular. Heavy yielder. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED. 110 days. The largest and 
most productive Mangel. Often reaches 24 to 30 
inches in length, weighing from 25 to 35 pounds.
