SOY BEANS --- FOR HAY, OIL, SOIL BUILDING 
1 | SOY BEANS 
INOCULATE SOY BEANS WITH NITRAGIN “SS” 
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 satisfactory 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 
will plant 3 acres. 
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 more than 2 tons of hay per 
acre. Matures in 135 days. Pricee: Lb., 55c; 2 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Please ask for prices in 
larger lots. 
5-100 
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 shat- 
ter and the oil content is higher. We strongly 
recommend 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 im- 
provement over the Macoupin. Lb., 55c; 2 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Please write for prices in 
larger lots.

Mung Beans 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E” 
An exceptionally good hay crop and a won- 
derful soil improver and very drought resis- 
tant. 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 re- 
sults are obtained when planted in 21/,- to 
3-foot rows, 4 to 5 inches in the drill. Lb., 
55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. Ask for prices in

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., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, 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., 55c; 2 Ibs., $1.00, post- 
paid. 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 cleaning. Matures in 135 davs. Price: 
Lb., 55c; 2 ibs., $1.00, postpaid. Please ask for 
prices in larger lots. 
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 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 tertilizing value.

RIETY. Lb., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, 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 farm- 
ers 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 a hairy. May be sown 
either in spring or fall. When sown in spring, 
it is ready to be cut by July. Sow SO to 80 
pounds of Vetch with the same amount of 
oats, using the oats to support the Vetch. 
Lb., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 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., 50c; 
2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. 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.
