Nursery stock Virginia Richmond Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. 70 T. W. WOOD & SONS, Richmond, Velvet Beans. VELVET BEANS, The Famous New Forage Plant. The popularity of this bean is increasing enormously, and it is now being very generally grown all throughout the South. It makes an enormous growth of feed, greater than any other known forage plant in the same length of time, far surpassing the Cow Pea in yield. The great possibilities of this bean as a land im- prover and for producing a good crop of forage seem almost unlim- ited. It is now being thoroughly tested in all the Southern States, and experienced agriculturists pronounce it of the greatest value. The vines and roots are very rich in nitrogen, making it a most valuable soil-improving crop. The vines grow so rank that it is with great difficulty that they can be turned under in the green state, and it is much better, if it is possible, to leave them above the ground until after frost kills them, and to plough them under in the winter or early spring, at which time they will make a heavy matted coating of vegetable matter, which, turned "under, will benefit the soil almost equal to a heavy application of stable ma- nure. The vines and beans also make a most nutritious feed, and we strongly recommend our customers all throughout the South to plant these beans on a large scale, feeling sure that they will be more than satisfied with the results from same. These beans should be planted in May or June, at the rate of one-and-a-half pecks to the acre, in drills five feet apart. They soon make a very rapid growth, completely covering the ground with a thick mass of vines. Pkt. 10c, postpaid; quart,, 20c.; peck, 65c.; bushel, $2. Special prices on large lots.
