IMPROVED GROUND PEA OR PEANUT. 
r The peanut plant 
is a pea, which 
blossoms in the air 
and then thrusts 
the ovary under 
ground for devel- 
opment. The 
ripened ovary or 
seed pod is the pea- 
nut of commerce. 
: ae The choice variety 
which I offer is early, large and prolific, yielding fewer imperfect pods 
than any other kind, and producing 100 bushels per acre on medium 
land. The nut is red, with 2 or 3 kernels to the pod; large and of rich 
flavor. Vines average 314 to 4 feet across, making valuable fodder for 
stock. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, postpaid.
