South American Peanuts 



The peanut, notwithstanding its popular name, is not re- 

 garded as a nut, but is in reality borne on a leguminous plant, 

 and therefore rather closely related to the peas and beans. The pic- 

 ture shows a specimen of a variety of peanut from South 

 America that Mr. Burbank has taken in charge to 

 see if anything notable can be done with it.
