/Chinese W msr&n 



:ammoth Virginia — A new, very 

 desirable and a most valuable variety 

 to grow. It is of upright growth and has 

 the largest pods and kernels of any variety; 

 always yields fewer imperfect 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 that they had a wonderful crop the past season. 

 It will pay everyone to try them. Plant 2 inches deep, 8 inches apart 

 in the row, and keep the ground free from weeds. W hen ripe, pull or 

 dig up and dry. Pkt. 5c; i lb. 10c; J lb. 15c;lb. 25C.;51bS. $1.00.
