Chufas.— This nut is splendid for fattening hogs; it has a fine flavor. The nut sends 

 up a single spire so much like Coco it might deceive even an experienced eye at first 

 appearance. Around this spire a multitude of others form rapidly. At the foot of each 

 spire is a nut never more than two inches in the ground. When harvesting the crop you 

 have only to gather all the spires and give a slight pull which will bring the entire cluster 

 up with nine-tenths of the nuts. Unlike the Coco, the Chufa will die out in two or three 

 years, if neglected or allowed to be choked withgrass or weeds. Price, 15c. per lb.; Si. 25 

 per peck; $4.00 per bushel.
