THE VELVET BEAN THE COMING
CROP OF FLORIDA

About eight years ago z. c. Cham
bliss, for the Palmetto Stock Farm,
sent out over the south little book
let on the many uses, virtues and easy
growth of velvet beans. In recent
conversation he informed us that this
booklet induced the purchase of small
lots of seed, scattered from Rich
mond, Va, to Houston, Texas, and
that the results obtained from those
sales have so increased the demand
that he has recently sold solid car
each to Richmond and New Orleans,
while smaller orders come from all
the way between. Not being a deal
er, but selling only the product af his
own farms, he has had to decline car
load orders from two other parties.
He thinks that as the high lands of
central Florida have a monopoly on
the growth of this seed, it is the most
valuable one crop of this section, and
will soon prove its commercial as
cendancy. They will grow well on
well drained soil, but do not require
rich land. as they belong to the legu-
minous family, and reach out into the
air for nitrogen, fixing with the nod
ules on their roots ammonia estimated
by the experiment station as being
worth from s12 to SIS per acre, if it
could be reduced to marketable form.
The seeds require very long growing
season, and will not mature north of
Florida. on account of frost. Those
planted further north, and where we
will always furnish the seed, are
grown for their fertilizer value alone.
A visit to the establishment of Geo.
Giles & Co., of Ocala, who are the
largest dealers in the state, will sur
prise one at the magnitude of their
trade. We advise the planting of vel
vet beans.
