Universal and Standard Favorite 
This is the variety most gcnerall.v grown for commercial use. and makes 
considerably larger nuts than the Spanish. The peanuts we offer are selected 
from the best and most productive crops grown, plant rather dwarf, stems 
upright, foliage rather light, pods clustered about the base of plant, usually 
two, sometimes three, seeds in a pod; pod bright and clean, color of peas 
light brown; pods adhere to plant In digging. It is the standard variety for 
roasting. They furnish excellent forage, and we recommend to all our cus- 
tomers, even if they do not plant for market, to plant at least a small patch 
of peanuts for home use or stock feeding. Hundreds of our young friends 
have written us that they have had a wonderful crop the past season.
