NICHOLSON’S SOY BEANS 
INOCULATE SOY BEANS WITH NITRAGIN “B” 
The early varieties of Yellow Soy Beans, such as S-100 and Volstate, will prove well 
adapted to growing in the Southwest. Results obtained in Texas were much more satis- 
factory than those of other varieties of oil type beans. We recommend these two kinds as 
being worthy of a trial. 
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.)

Ralsoy 
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 does 
very well in Texas and on trial has yielded 
135 days. Price: Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
5-100 
The earhest maturing yellow bean ever to be 
grown in the Southwest. An ideal variety to

ter grain crop. This bean is slow to shatter 
and the oil content is higher. We strongly rec- 
ommend this variety as the best, mainly for its 
earliness. Matures in 110 days. We are listing 
this variety as we feel that it is an improve- 
ment over the Macoupin. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c,

SOY BEANS PLANTED IN CORN 
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 2)14- to 3-foot rows, 4 
to 5 inches in the drill. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
A FIELD OF HAIRY WINTER VETCH—IN RYE 
more than 2 tons of hay per acre. Matures in.

rows. On the smaller size hay beans, such as Laredo and Tanner, a bushel will plant 3 
Volstate 
(Large Yellow) 
A large yellow bean, slow to shatter and is 
very prolific where adapted. One of the new 
popular crushing sorts. The plant is very erect 
and bushy. Matures in 145 days. Price: Lb.., 
40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Please ask for prices

Red Tanner 
A dandy hay variety, the seed are reddish in

than the Laredo. The bean is tough, therefore 
suffering very little loss in threshing and clean- 
ing. Matures in 135 days. Price: Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 
oes postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger

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 wonderul 
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.

RIETY. Lb., 50c; 2 lIbs., 90c, 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 
ae 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., 45ce; 2 lbs., 80c, postpaid.
