PEANUTS 



New Mammoth Virginia — A new. very 

 early, desirable and a most valuable va- 

 riety to grow. It is of upright growth and has the largest 

 pods and kernels of any variety: always yields fewer imper- 

 fect pods; the vines make valuable forage for stock. Plant in 

 April and they will ripen before September, even as far north 

 as Canada. Hundreds of my young friends have written me 

 th.it they had a wonderful crop tbe past season. It will pay 

 every one to try them. Plant 2 Inches d?op. S Inches apart In the row, and keep the ground free from 

 weeds. When ripe, pull or dig up and dry. Pkt. 5c.- Va lb. 10c; V 2 lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00.

 flavoring soups In the Middle and Northern States they are not so thoroughly appreciated as they deserve to be. Seed pods, produced In
